A Reason to Love More- The Alzheimer’s Enigma is a daughter’s description of her innermost feelings and experiences while helping her mother cope with Alzheimer’s and her finding that while it was a tough journey, her experience found a hidden reward and meaning.
'When Nelly Joyce was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, her children set out with their mother along her lonely path to guide her with loving arms, and helped to manage her illness as best they could in difficult circumstances with frightening episodes and heart-breaking situations on all sides. Their way of coping with and, ironically, ‘enjoying’ their mother and each other at this time was a revelation. A sensitively told, day-by-day account of the emotion, the challenges almost beyond human endurance and the joy that small victories can bring, gives insight that numerous technical reports can never do. “Her compelling story offers hope, meaning and reward. That is the enigma.' Helen Ashdown, editior
'I can already hear Anne Joyce's voice on radio talking about the book, her turn of phrase, honesty and insight compelling people to stop what they are doing and listen." Margaret Hawkins, health journalist
