Letters to My Aunt : An Alzheimer's Chronicle

Rating:
Summary: Highly Personal Story both enlightening and heart-breaking
Review: This touching collection of letters details a daughter's thoughts, feelings, and experience as she faced the physical and intellectual losses caused by her mother's Alzheimer's Disease.   The story is told thru a collection of letters to the author's aunt about her mother's condition over a period of five years.  The book gives insights into how Alzheimer's affects families and chronicles the progress of the disease.  I found this highly personal story enlightening as well as heart-breaking.  Recommended for families of Alzheimer's patients.
