Why read it?
1 author picked Choosing Joy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is the #1 caregiving book of hope I’d want my family to read, should I ever be diagnosed with dementia.

I learned the many ways she discovered to make life more meaningful for her husband, especially through art (much of his artwork through the years is included).

From Vicki's list on Alzheimer’s and dementia caregiving stories.
