This book is by Jennifer Fuller. I have seen a few of her videos so I ordered her book. Just got it today and read a couple of chapters. I have read a lot of books about Alzheimer’s but this one is very good so far. Was wondering what others thought about it.

Thank you for mentioning this Joydean; it is an excellent resource not only for those of us dealing with dementia, but also for giving it to family members so that they understand. This writing clearly explains the changes across the spectrum of dementia and the why's of the changes and enlightens us in an easy to understand way.
Jennifer Ghent-Fuller actually makes this writing free of charge online to read and be copied for family members, etc. She titles it, "Understanding the Dementia Experience." It can be found in pdf at the following link:
