Stolen Moments, inspiring and unforgettable stories from people living with Alzheimer's

Yet with humour and love woven into each story this could not be considered a sad book, more a collection of personal events and realisations.
IDEAL FOR: people who want to see the true strength of love, the power of humour and to understand more about this disease without wading through text books.
