I have not read your book, Elder Rage and understand it is wonderful. I am sure you are very knowledgeable about Alzheimer's and other types of dementia. However, I would respectfully disagree with your comment about not mentioning Alzheimer's or dementia. I believe that total honesty is very important. This is not to say that every single person who has dementia must be told his or her diagnosis because I realize that there are some people who couldn't handle it. However, most people CAN and simply must know what is going on. In my case, I have always been honest with my mother (age 88 and has had Alzheimer's officially, anyway, for seven-and-one-half years) and she is relieved to know that she isn't going crazy!!!

Respectfully,
