My latest Blogging For Books review is for Where The Light Gets In by Kimberly Williams-Paisley.
I don't personally know anyone with dementia, so I can't imagine how devastating it must be to go through this disease with a loved one. Kimberly Williams-Paisley does the perfect job of describing the feelings that happen after you hear the diagnosis and dealing with the disease with your loved one. It's written very honestly and captures all the ups and downs.
The book is not just about Kimberly's reaction but also the toll it takes on her siblings who take turns caring for their mother, and her father who has to cope with losing his wife while she is still alive. The book is not entirely depressing or sad to read, it strikes the right balance of hope and uplifting moments too.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone dealing with this disease in their family.
