Book Preview: 

#1 Dorothy Johnson was a 59-year-old woman who began to experience memory problems. She was a competitive Bridge player, and she began to experience blips in her sequencing skills at critical points in the game. She lost track of one significant card and failed to complete strategies that normally would have been guaranteed.

#2 The family was torn apart when Dorothy’s dementia was revealed. Her father was determined to move, and she was not able to stop him. She decided to sell their house and move into a small cottage down the lane, which both parents agreed to.

#3 After the move from the family home to the cottage, Penny set about following the advice she had been given, to the letter. She made the best of today, but kept to everything she knew Dorothy enjoyed from long ago and limited anything new to a minimum.

#4 The author’s mother, Dorothy, was living with dementia. She was hesitant on the telephone when her golf and Bridge friends called, and she was given small amounts of pocket money each week by her husband, Sam. The neighbors tried to help, but Dorothy did not want to visit their friends.
