What Rosemary's Way is about, and why it's important
About 57 million people have dementia around the world, and millions more will be diagnosed this year - Rosemary Way offers a practical, rarely talked-about way to move forward with love and grace...
But it has to be talked about before it's too late.
When Spring Courtright's mother, Rosemary, starts showing signs of memory loss, Spring braces herself for the heartbreak of dementia so many families know. Instead, she discovers that her mother has a different plan that will change the course of their lives, and affect everyone they come into contact with.
Rosemary is a retired librarian with a fiercely independent spirit and a delightfully stubborn streak. She refuses to let Alzheimer's decide how her story ends and makes a powerful decision not to accept the same fate as her mother.
Together, mother and daughter embark on an uncharted journey that tests the boundaries of love, autonomy, and what it truly means to care for someone.
For anyone with aging parents, facing difficult conversations about the future, or beginning to think about their own aging, Rosemary's Way is a gentle hand to hold and a reminder: Don't wait to have the important conversations.
Raw, unexpectedly funny, and deeply human, Rosemary's Way is a powerful memoir about courage and choice, grief and joy, and the decisions that shape a life.
