With harrowing honesty, she brings readers face to face with this devastating condition and its effects on its victims and those who care for them. Detailing the daily realities and overwhelming responsibilities of caregiving, Comer sheds intensive light on this national health crisis, using her personal experiences--the mistakes and the breakthroughs--to put a face to a misunderstood disease, while revealing the facts everyone needs to know.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePragmatic and relentless, Meryl has dedicated herself to fighting Alzheimer's and raising public awareness. \"Nothing I do is really about me; it's all about making sure no one ends up like me,\" she writes. Deeply personal and illuminating, \u003cem\u003eSlow Dancing With a Stranger \u003c\/em\u003eoffers insight and guidance for navigating Alzheimer's challenges. It is also an urgent call to action for intensive research and a warning that we must prepare for the future, instead of being controlled by a disease and a healthcare system unable to fight it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e bestselling author, Emmy award-winning broadcast journalist, and leading Alzheimer's advocate Meryl Comer comes a profoundly intimate account of her husband's battle with Alzheimer's disease, one of today's most pressing--and least understood--health epidemics.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne hundred percent of the proceeds from \u003cem\u003eSlow Dancing with a Stranger\u003c\/em\u003e will support Alzheimer's research.\u003c\/p\u003e--\u003cb\u003ePeter V.
