By Gretchen Nelson Ezaki

In A Day to Remember: A Novel of Alzheimer's, three women from three generations of one family find love and joy amidst the loss and confusion of Alzheimer's. Deanna's wedding day is nearly perfect, marred only by the absence of her grandmother, Greta. As the day progresses, Deanna and her mother, Mary, recount funny, ingratiating, and even some irritating events of the past decade as Alzheimer's progressed and Greta's memory and competence waned. Greta's illness is intertwined with Deanna's developing romance to her cerebral, witty bridegroom, Hank. The optimistic beauty of love and new beginnings is contrasted with the pain of slow, incremental loss.Any reader caring for a loved one with dementia will resonate with the challenges faced by the main characters. Fans of romance will enjoy the developing relationship of the young couple and the beauty of their wedding day. A Day to Remember reminds readers that life is hard, but at the end of the day, life is good.
