Editorial Reviews

"This is a brilliantly sympathetic and touching study of a classic Alzheimer's case . . . The Last Childhood is of immense help and value to anyone who is in the position of having to look after a sufferer."

JOHN BAYLEY

"In The Last Childhood, Carried Knowles weaves a story none of us wants to live through -- but many of us must. With wise words and telling detail, Knowles captures the pain, the sense of loss, and the moments of hilarity in dealing with a loved one who has Alzheimer's. Reading The Last Childhood was like talking to a friend who has been through it all -- and understands."
