The characters in this story learn how important it is to communicate with each other, through good times and bad!
If you wonder about how Alzheimer’s affects loved ones this book is a roller coaster of emotions, values and morals. More that The Notebook.
Beautiful love story that faced challenges but ultimately made good choices. Inspirational and challenging.
Tackles a very heart-rending subject that affects so many today. Well done.
Very appropriate for things happening now. God is still caring for us no matter the situation.
One of the best books I have ever read with Christian principles
Very enjoyable!! Wanted to keep reading the story!!
This book touched me deeply. The importance of commitment in marriage was beautifully presented with very real characters.
Very good book, was just hard for me at this time because I recently lost my husband . Made me cry even more. But I love Deborah Raney and highly recommend her books.
A look into the tragic disease of Alzheimer’s
So sad to read a realistic story of Alzheimer’s and its effect on family.
I absolutely loved this book! It was so sad yet so joyful at the end. Very moving and inspiring. A definite must read.
What a wonderful story of faithful love through the painful challenges of Alzheimer’s disease. Deborah Rainey clearly described the heartache of losing a loved one years before the body died and the meaning of loving a spouse through sickness and health for all of life. I’m glad it ended the way it did!
Wonderful book on the hard ,heartbreaking disease of Alzheimer’s.
I loved this book. It was tragic for the lady but a true picture of how a family and spouse should surround with love a person with alzheimers.
Good book
