Praise for “Conversations With My Mother”

“ This story, so well told . . . provides a powerful window into the lives of people living with dementia as well as the loved ones who care for them. I hope it will help spark a national conversation about dementia that will bring it out of the shadows and eliminate the stigma that too often impedes progress.”

—George Vradenburg, cofounder the Davos Alzheimer’s Collaborative and UsAgainstAlzheimers
