The text is enriched with stories of Kenny's own family (her mother died of dementia) and from numerous other patients and families, which brings what she has to say to life. She does not pull any punches about dying and death and all the problems they bring, but she does so in a kind and caring way . . . I think this book will be very helpful to many people . . . If your work in palliative care involves significant numbers of patients with dementia, this book will give you plenty to reflect on. -Dr. Roger Woodruff, International Association for Hospice & Pallatative Care
