O knihe

Alzheimer's is a family disease, and A Long and Winding Road is a love story-not a boy-meets-girl love story, but a family love story:

The story of the love of a daughter for her parents and her willingness to take them into her home when they could no longer care for themselves;

The story of a mother and father who loved their daughter but no longer remembered exactly where they were or why;

The story of a husband who loved his wife so much that he stood beside her as they fought to survive the ravages of the brain-wasting disease that was stealing her loved ones away a piece at a time.

It's also the story of a seven-week trip for four across sixteen U.S. states in a forty-foot motor home-a trip that involved stopped up toilets, wet jeans, laughter, and headaches that were far from the easygoing retirement the Brendles had imagined for themselves.

Linda Brendle takes you on a roller-coaster ride of emotional and spiritual challenges that many families are facing right now. Co-dependency, mental breakdowns, and finding love after divorce are just a few of the issues weaved into this journey of caregiving.

A LONG AND WINDING ROAD: A Caregiver's Tale of Life, Love, and Chaos is the story of the chaos that happens when four people, two of whom have Alzheimer's, spend fifty-three days in a 400-square-foot box on wheels.
