This book is somewhat of a chronicle which also contains a dated journal of my late husband’s descent into Alzheimer’s Disease. In addition, it is as much my memoir, which includes reflections on my own coping  mechanisms.

I could say that my intention with this book is in helping people know what to expect with progression of this disease, but that would be an erroneous assumption, because of the different personalities we all start out with. I expect it contains helpful observations, even so.

For those of you who are wondering what happened to I Can't Remember the Name of This Book; it is not an entirely abandoned project, and may reappear someday. In the meantime, Letting go of the Rice is a small portion of that one, and the bigger book is still simmering in the background while I'm working on a book called Rolling Homes.

Rolling Homes is a somewhat humorous memoir of Al and I and our travels around the country in an RV. Although written by me, I am also giving credit to Al for his help with the memories of where we were when, and what happened there.
