Both of Jean Lee's parents were diagnosed with Alzheimer's on the same day in 2006. She kept a journal during her parents' decline, and fleshed that into a book intended just for her family. She joined a local writing group to help her write her story well. Encouraged by their belief in the story, Jean published Alzheimer's Daughter in 2015, even though she really thought she could be struck by lightning for revealing family secrets. In the four years since publication, the story has resonated with many. Alzheimer's Daughter floats in the top 100 Alzheimer's books on Amazon and was recently named #6 in the Best Alzheimer's Books of all time by Book Authority. Jean is also cofounder of AlzAuthors.com. Their goal is to collate well-vetted books written through the personal lens about Alzheimer's and dementia. Learn more at Alzauthors.com and AlzheimersDaughter.com.

Dr. Tia Powell is the author of the brand new book "Dementia Reimagined: Building a Life of Joy and Dignity from Beginning to End". Despite being a physician and a bioethicist, she wasn't prepared to address the challenges she faced when her grandmother, and then her mother, were diagnosed with dementia--not to mention confronting the hard truth that her own odds aren't great. Dr. Powell's goal is to move the conversation away from an exclusive focus on cure to a genuine appreciation of care--what we can do for those who have dementia, and how to keep life meaningful and even joyful. Her book can be pre-ordered from Amazon and other book sellers. Find out more about the Zestful Aging Podcast at NicoleChristina.com, and become a patron at Patreon.com/ZestfulAging.
