A review by mlindsey441
Before I Forget: Love, Hope, Help, and Acceptance in Our Fight Against Alzheimer's by Michael Shnayerson, B. Smith, Dan Gasby

5.0

This is an excellent memoir written by B. Smith and her husband about their experience with Alzheimer's. One of the most interesting parts of this book is the short portions that were written by B herself which describe events in her own voice. The book is also a very helpful guide for caregivers because B's husband shares the lessons he learned as he cared for his wife and gives some very helpful suggestions. The book provides a beautiful portrait of how the life of an entire family is changed by an Alheimer's diagnosis. Even readers who are not familiar with the B. Smith brand will likely enjoy this book as it provides ample background information on who B. is apart from her diagnosis. I highly recommend this book to anyone impacted by diseases that cause memory loss.

A special thanks to NetGalley for providing me with an advanced reader copy of this book. I am not required to give a positive review.
