Thank you, Carol, for this insightful review.  I think I may buy this book and urge my husband to read it.  Though I don't have Alzheimers, I know that the future may throw my husband and I into a similar situation.  I am traveling a different path with vascular dementia but think that this book will help to open up communication about the future and my wishes.  I know it will help me appreciate my present ever so much more!
