Head Case: My Father, Alzheimer’s & Other Brainstorms

Miriam Wallace, Professor of English & Gender Studies at New College of Florida, recommended this book on the Health Hum listserv. Author Alexis Orgera is a poet and the daughter of someone with early onset Alzheimer’s. Said Wallace, “What’s particularly lovely is the way it blends caregiving with learning about the disease–some great accounts of time she spent drawing with her father as a way to keep him connected as the disease progressed.”
