This is a great read, especially for anyone who has experienced Alzheimer's first hand. The truth's this book uncovers brings a very real aspect to the authors situation. During my reading, I found myself amazed at her strength during the situation, as well as saddened that she experienced it at all. The tagline "a story of life, love and death" is well suited for such an emotional book. I felt the sadness she felt while going through the last year and a half of her parents life, and couldn't help but be pulled into the story and forced to imagine the sadness I will feel with the loss of my own parents. I highly recommend this book.

Deborah has shared her story; her parents love and devotion to one another, and the disease of alzheimer's "The Beast" that took both of them, only 36 Days Apart. Deborah writes with her bittersweet emotions and truth. This is a love story. Deborah's book also includes information that is very helpful.

I thought I was only going to take a few quick glances thru the book 36 Days Apart but after the first few sentences I knew that I would sit and read the book in its entirety.The outpour of love and respect that Deborah shows for her parents is just overwhelming.I am not real sure I could have accomplished what she did. My heart goes out to her for doing all she did do.

The research she did on the disease and getting it across to the reader was also of value,very factual and informative. Her explanations of being overly tired and having to "take a break" should ring true with anyone that ever was a "care giver" for a family member or a friend. My humble thanks to her for this book and for those who saw it worthwhile to publish.
