Capturing the many dimensions of the Alzheimer experience-the challenges, the struggles, the humor, and even the rewards-a"Voices" presents a varied, and realistic, look at what it's like to be affected by the disease. With compassion, humor, and grace, it offers the simple advice, wisdom, and understanding of others who have traveled the same uncertain path.
