Terri: Thanks for your comment! I agree - this is an author to watch for in the future. Jen: *laughs* thanks for the compliments :) I couldn't agree more about sharing books and stories...it is one of the reasons I love cruising the book blogs. Jeane: Thanks - I'll look forward to reading your thoughts once you've read this book!

I think you summed it up better than I did. But that's what makes a book unique, so many individuals experiencing the same story in uniquely different ways. I am glad you enjoyed the book and glad that you passed it on. I think that's what books are for -- sharing -- both the tangible stories as we relate them to others, and the physical versions we can hand off. Wow, a physical therapist and a very good writer.

This book both intrigues me and makes me anxious. I feel that I should check it out when it's published, but I think I'd be apprehensive about readng it because of my possible reaction. Thanks for your review and recommendation. My mother had early-onset Alzheimer’s. This book both intrigues me and makes me anxious.

Glad to know I'm not alone :) Mrs. S: Thanks for visiting! An ARC is an Advance Reader's Copy (also called an ARE - Advance Reader's Edition; or an early review book). Many publishers give away early editions to readers to review...it helps promote the book for its release. This book is slated for release in April 2008.
