This beautiful poem of a book, looking into your voice ~ the poetic and eccentric realities of Alzheimer’s, is a collection of conversations offering alternative and beautiful insights into the Alzheimer’s mind.

Celebrating the revelatory eloquence of the altered realities of dementia, these vignettes are also included in Cathie Borrie’s lyrical memoir, The Long Hello which chronicles and cherishes the relationship between a mother and daughter over a seven-year period as the mother’s mind transforms and her dementia increases.
The mother’s voice weaves throughout the memoir with insight, humor and an astonishing poetic sensibility, challenging the negative stereotypes pervasive in the current and often limiting geography of dementia.
This family memoir is also intended for readers interested in the quirks of memory and in the universal themes of loss, love, divorce, and the meaning in suffering. It includes many tender, moving, and happy childhood stories.
