"A book that changes everything for Alzheimer's couples and caregivers."
A courageous couple shows us a
brilliant and beautiful way to stand up
to Alzheimer's together at home.
ABOUT THE BOOK
"I wrote Mike &Me to share vital information with all couples and caregivers as you walk your journey with Alzheimer's. By managing Alzheimer's together at home, Mike and I surpassed virtually all expectations for this disease, and discovered new ways to experience 10 full years of life, love and marriage. Through it all, we approached each day by living with, rather than dying from, Alzheimer's. This book will show you how."

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
When her husband Mike was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, Rosalys Peel searched the bookshelves for a "couples guide" that would show them how to deal with Mike's illness at home instead of in a care facility. Unable to find that book, she eventually decided to write it herself. The result is an immediate, practical and inspiring guide that bridges an important gap for today's Alzheimer's couples and caregivers.
