Life's Gauntlet is the moving account of a husband's journey as the caretaker of his wife from the beginning of her early-onset Alzheimer's disease until her death 14 years later. This memoir takes the reader from the joy and excitement of the couple's early romance and marriage to the later times of fear, hope, frustration, grief and loneliness the author experienced when dealing with the progression of this devastating illness.

The book is both an inspirational portrait of true courage, compassion and love in the face of overwhelming hardship, as well as a detailed chronical of how the author dealt with the decisions that had to be made, the medical emergencies that arose, the obstacles in the insurance and health-care industries, and the family problems that were exacerbated by the illness.

The author overcame a traumatic childhood and 25 years of depression to successfully and lovingly care for his wife, even when she no longer knew him. His message to you: When you walk the path of the caregiver you will see how your capacities are exceeded many times over, and take courage from the determination to move forward reguardless of the difficulty.
