Engaging

The photos are delicious entries in an intimate story of people, hopes, actions, and outcomes. My style is to jump around in some types of books--so I did. I love how conversational the style is and how human the stsories.

Great for family members

I am not an avid reader, but I read the book in two days! It gave me a little more insight into daily life with my own mother. She does not have Alzheimer's but she has become more forgetful which I find frustrating-and sad. But the idea of meeting her where she is, not where I want her to be, has helped me already-although some days are better than others in handling the events! I thank Shirley Shaw for opening the Rakhma Homes. God bless her and all her helpers. P.S. My mother also read the book. She used to love to read and is again doing so. She's 87.
