$24.50 CAD

A multi-perspective memoir on early-onset Alzheimer's, written for people living with the diagnosis and the family caregivers supporting them.

Product Details

Available in English only.

A Look Inside Alzheimer's is a book co-written by three authors with direct, personal experience with early-onset Alzheimer's disease. Susan Dublin and Patricia J. Kimmerly share their own accounts of living with the diagnosis, while Marjorie N. Allen writes from her perspective as the spouse of a person living with Alzheimer's.

The book addresses real, everyday challenges: loss of independence, personality changes, and difficulties communicating. Quotes from professionals in the field are woven throughout, grounding the personal stories in broader clinical context.

Written for both people living with the diagnosis and their family caregivers, it offers a rare combination of lived experience and insight from multiple vantage points. 

  • A Look Inside Alzheimer's is suitable for people living with an early-stage Alzheimer's diagnosis who are looking for perspectives from others with shared experiences.
  • A Look Inside Alzheimer's is suitable for family members and spousal caregivers seeking a deeper understanding of what their loved one may be going through.
  • A Look Inside Alzheimer's is suitable for professional caregivers who want a more personal, human window into the experience of living with Alzheimer's.

One of the most consistent challenges in Alzheimer's caregiving is the sense of isolation, both for the person living with the diagnosis and for those caring for them. Understanding what a loved one is experiencing is difficult when so few accounts come directly from people living with early-onset Alzheimer's.

This book stands out because it includes first-person narratives from two people living with the diagnosis, alongside a caregiver's account. That combination gives readers multiple entry points into a shared but rarely documented experience. The inclusion of professional perspectives throughout also helps families make sense of what they're observing, without requiring a clinical background to understand.
