abstract: The strength of this book comes from the personal journey of discovery that the author has taken to arrive at her ideas and model of care. This personal style includes the reader in Joanne Koenig Coste's traumatic early acknowledgment that her husband had developed dementia and her later sense of isolation when there seemed so little help around. This seems to have fired her to work in the field, agitate for change and write of her experiences.
