Dear Alzheimer's by Keith Oliver
How to live a full and rewarding life after a dementia diagnosis. Keith Oliver was diagnosed with young onset dementia at the age of 55. Unaware at the time that dementia could affect people of this age, Keith set out to increase public awareness of the condition and dispel the myths about the illness. Using a unique diary format, this intimate and empowering memoir captures what everyday life with dementia is like, offering both a candid look at its struggles, and a profoundly moving account of Keith's journey to live a full life afterwards.
A candid, moving account from a courageous man - this book gives thoughtful and at times heart-breaking insight into living with dementia-- Victoria Derbyshire, award-winning journalist and broadcaster
