Alzheimer's disease is often referred to as a family disease because of the constant emotional strain it places on family members as they watch their loved ones slowly slip away. But for those left with caring for their loved ones, the emotional, physical, and financial toll can be enormous-so much so that most caregivers fail to take care of themselves and become depressed, ill and unable to continue their role as caregiver. Courage to Care: A Caregiver's Companion Through the Stages of Alzheimer's helps to ease the burden of those who have accepted this labor of love by providing them with knowledge and coping strategies to make it through each stage of this progressive and complicated disease. The book focuses not only on how to deal with the emotional issues associated with the disease, but provides specific advice on how to make life easier and more enjoyable for both the loved one and the caregiver.

Noble House [Published Date: 2000]. Hardcover, 226 pp. [From back cover] At the urging of my mother, I visited China in 1980, the first time I was able to return to my homeland in twenty-seven years. Seeing Shanghai again, where I grew up in the time spanning the war with the Japanese, the Second World War, and the civil war which led to Mao's communist regime, I was flooded with memories of my childhood. I realized that my parents were the last survivors of a way of life in China which has now vanished as violently as the destruction of the books which recorded that way of life. But, though the handwritten family histories had been destroyed, the memories of my mother, myself and other friends and relatives had not. As I observed the new China, different from both my past and from my present American life, I decided that it was time for me, the representative of the 20th generation of my family, to write the last volume. - from the Author's "Introduction"
