About the book

For 7 years the author listened to and recorded the words of people with dementia. They revealed to her much of their subjective experience with dementia. This book tells their stories. 'Trisha Kotai-Ewers has creatively enhanced the too-slowly emerging body of knowledgeable writing on this subject, employing her skills as a wordsmith and as a listener to great advantage......There will be benefits for professionals as well as carers who pay attention to this book.' Dr. Neville Hills, FRANZCP, MRCPsych, DPM

First sentence: Introduction: According to Oliver Sacks, 'We have, each of us, a life-story, an inner narrative -- whose continuity, whose sense, is our lives.' Chapter 1: Rae's Story. Of all the people I spoke with over a prolonged period of time, I saw Rae the least.
