When her son Trey, who has Down Syndrome, was diagnosed with early-onset dementia at age 29, Sherri knew she had to do something to help him understand his diagnosis.

Whether you’re dealing with dementia or know someone who is, this book will give you the hope, knowledge, and perspective you need to face the future with hope and courage.

Picture Memories – Understanding Dementia is a beautifully written book that explains Alzheimer’s disease in a most sensitive manner. The Henderson family’s understanding of the needs of family members facing this diagnosis for children with intellectual disabilities is impressive and their ability to communicate what the disease means is nothing short of phenomenal! The book is breathtakingly beautiful and will help any family dealing with this diagnosis. It is a must read.

It made me cry- and it made me smile, both of which are crucial for a reader in order to get the full impact of the book’s meaning. I think it is a clear explanation for people of all ages – even those of us who think we understand this disease because we know the medical facts; this goes beyond the facts of the body and brings home the facts of the heart. I see this book as helping not only families whose loved one has Down syndrome, but all families facing this new journey. Thanks to Trey and the Hendersons for sharing so much of their own lives in order to bring information and encouragement to the lives of so many others.

Although originally written to help the patient, this well written, easy to understand and beautifully illustrated book can help others, especially young family members, better empathize with a loved one who is suffering from dementia. It will be an essential addition to my own bookshelf.
