This book is a heartfelt and personal story that comes across beautifully. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who wants to read a personal account of the challenges and experiences of caring for aging parents and especially for family members who find themselves on the difficult path of caring for a loved one diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. An Eight Year Goodbye is an honest portrait of a journey no one wants to take that is written with grace, dignity and love. It is a poignant and beautiful tribute to a beloved father.
