Title: A Family's Struggle
Review: Eisenhart uses a series of poems to tell the story of her mother's life and struggle with Alzheimer's disease.The mother, Viola, was not necessarily an easy woman for her children to deal with, but she lived passionately and expressed herself vividly.After the death of her husband, everything changed. Without his assistence, suddenly she could no longer conceal her memory loss. Gaps in her memory brought rage first, then panic. Her children had to deal with unwarrented suspicion and their own fear about her driving. Ultimately, they persuaded her to go into a nursing home.Eisenhart's tender, perceptive poems, illustrated with family photos, make this book one that any family in a similar situation can relate to.
