Publisher's Synopsis
Glimmers brings us into the life of Elsie, an older woman suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Told through the eyes of her friend Heidi Hamilton, an ageing and Alzheimer's specialist from Georgetown University, this is a powerful and touching story describing just how this disease that eradicates memory of self impacts one special person's life. Dr Hamilton provides deep insights on the process of Alzheimer's disease and how caregivers can best cope with the changes that those afflicted with Alzheimer's are going through.
