About this book
"This is the best book I've ever read on Alzheimer's disease . . . Ms. Snyder's work teaches us a deep respect for the uniqueness of each individual with Alzheimer's disease, and that the most profound way to learn is to listen."
—Robyn Yale, LCSW, author of Counseling People with Early-Stage Alzheimer's Disease, Clinical Social Worker, and Consultant to the Alzheimer's Association
"After years of thinking, reading, writing, and speaking about Alzheimer's, I'm convinced that the best way to understand what it feels like to have Alzheimer's disease is to listen to the true experts—people with Alzheimer's. In Speaking Our Minds . . . their stories are moving, insightful, inspiring, and above all, memorable."
—Lisa Genova, Ph.D., author of Still Alice
