This book was difficult. It is a memoir of his experience walking his wife through primary progressive aphasia, a form of dementia. His wife, who was once a member of Mensa and is a published author, who used to edit his books, now struggles to find words for everyday things like shorts, and struggles to use simple things, like basic telephones. It is a memoir of pain and difficulty, as disjointed as the tumultuous life it now describes, yet following Job well: why does this happen, nevertheless may the Lord be glorified! I will definitely be rereading this, but it will take me several months or years before I can brave the waters again. ( )
