I think the low-ish rating is probably more about where I am than about the book. I got tired of it at the end, felt like she was re-hashing what had already been said or even padding a little. I am very thankful that my situation is MUCH better - and that's frustrating because I feel like I shouldn't complain, which I do, it's my pressure valve! And just about every page I was crying out to God, Please don't let us get to this point! I do appreciate what these ladies did and her taking the time to share the "inside story" of what it's like to care for somebody 24/7 . . . but maybe while you are experiencing it isn't the best time to read about it! It does help, to know you're not alone, or unusual in your responses!

Excellent resource for families who are struggling with the devastating effect of Alzheimer's disease. The authors are open about their own struggles. I gave the book 4 stars instead of 5 because of some repetition.
