Slow Dancing With a Stranger: Lost and Found in the Age of Alzheimer's
by Meryl Comer
Heartbreaking and frightening memoir. Meryl Comer was a television journalist married to a successful doctor at the National Institute of Health. Then she was forced to become a caregiver when her husband began suffering terrifying symptoms of dementia in his 50s.
This one fulfills the 'book by or about a person who has a disability' category of the 2017 reading challenge.
