“Advice From a Parkinson’s Wife: 20 Lessons…” (book review)
Our friend Denise Dagan shared her book review of “Advice From a Parkinson’s Wife: 20 Lessons Learned the Hard Way,” by Barbara Sheklin Davis (2019). Though “Parkinson’s” is in the title, this book will be of interest to caregivers coping with Lewy body dementia and the other atypical parkinsonism disorders. While “wife” is in the title, this book will be of interest to all caregivers regardless of whether they are caring for a spouse or not. Denise highly recommends the book and calls is a “quick read” (at 94 pages). Her comments are shared here, and then Denise provides a summary of the 20 lessons.
