The Long Way Home: A Journey Through Alzeimer's

by Marian Ritchie

Harrop | July 1, 2005 | Trade Paperback

A poignant and penetrating account of the author's turbulent journey through Alzheimer's as she cared for her husband, the unwitting protagonist of this tale. The Long Way Home focuses on the human -- and often humorous -- aspects of the disease rather than the medical. It is an honest and accessible work, appealing to the average reader.

It is a story that continues to be repeated, countless times over, throughout the world; a story that needs to be told so that others travelling on a similar journey know they are not alone.

Proceeds from the sale of The Long Way Home are donated to Alzheimer's associations across North America.

From the Critics

·          “A compelling story that many patients’ families will benefit from sharing.” – Dr. R.J. Caselli, MD, Mayo Clinic   “I found it devastating, depressing, revealing, inspirational,….INCREDIBLE.   It’s amazing what “we” all think we know from being trained on the disease and its process! … I think all Healthcare providers should read it!!!...I truly feel more empowered and passionate about making a difference!” - Continuing Health Ed., Pfizer, L. Bassett   “Your book has certainly been a big help to me, in understanding the reality of being a family member of someone with Alzheimer’s Disease.   Thanks.”   - S. Bailey, Alzheimer Support Facilitator   “This book helps caregivers realize you need humor and honesty to face Alzheimer’s – to cope and to survive.  It’s the role model caregivers truly need.  Thanks.   - N.
