When Grandma Is Not Grandma: Alzheimer's Steals Family's Treasures
$16.95
This story portrays a beautiful relationship between a ten-year-old girl and her grandma that transcends the “generation gap.” It’s a perfect fit. They are two happy people, planning fun projects and enjoying each other. That is until Li’l Lady Savannah begins to notice a difference in Grandma’s usual sweet demeanor towards her. These changes produce extreme anxiety for Li’l Lady Savannah, who absorbs the guilt for the changes in Grandma’s behavior. She’s torn between keeping secret what she notices about Grandma or telling her parents.
An accident at Grandma’s house brings the mystery of these changes to the forefront when Grandma is hospitalized and diagnosed with two devastating diseases.
The story is based on a true story of how Alzheimer’s disease quietly and relentlessly robs a family of their most precious treasures—their mother’s independence, abilities, skills, memories, trust of her family, and devotion to her grandchildren.
