Now in its SECOND EDITION, Riding the Elephant: An Alzheimer's Journey takes the reader deep into a landscape where no one goes by choice, yet a place where 5 million Americans reside. A memoir that traces the steps of two sisters and their families as they accompany their mother into uncharted territory, it is a story filled with pathos, humor, unforgettable characters and a glimpse into the transformational power of the human heart.

This is a literary collection that illuminates the darkness of Alzheimer's disease.
