Advocate

“We fear Alzheimer’s more than cancer, but we’re motivated not to notice or be diagnosed. We lie to ourselves.” – Meryl Comer

Author

From Emmy award-winning broadcast journalist and leading Alzheimer’s advocate Meryl Comer comes a profoundly intimate and unflinching account of her husband’s battle with Alzheimer’s disease, one of today’s most pressing – and least-understood – health epidemics. 100% of proceeds support Alzheimer’s research.

“An unflinching and intimate account…conveys a sense of passion and even frustration with a society that [Comer] believes has been slow to acknowledge the spread of Alzheimer’s disease or make adequate provisions to tend to its caregivers.” (Washington Post)
