PRAISE

"Moreland offers a realistic but reassuring message... a helpful book of common-sense guidance for people caring for someone with Alzheimer's."-Kirkus Reviews

"I have been a caregiver for my own mother who has been living with Alzheimer's for over sixteen years. As I am currently walking her 'over the bridge' to her freedom from this horrible disease, I applaud Mary Moreland for her generosity and the authenticity she shares in her journey with her mother Jane. Knowing you're not alone and learning from others who have walked the same path before you is priceless. As is this book, The Gap Between."-Susie Singer Carter, Filmmaker of My Mom and the Girl, Host of Love Conquers Alz Podcast, Caregiver, Mother, and Daughter.

"Mary Moreland shares her caring experience and exposes the gaps that trip families up-like the emotional triggers that can stay a lifetime if we aren't prepared for them."-Lori La Bey, Founder of Alzheimer's Speaks and Co-Founder of Dementia Map

Mary Moreland draws from her own personal experiences in dealing with her mother's Alzheimer's diagnosis and provides readers with valuable information to help them take care of their loved ones...
