A personal account of one family's quest to beat Early-Onset Alzheimer's. It explores the best hope that modern medical science offers to facing the ultimate identity theft of Alzheimer's.

When most members of the Reiswig family reach their 40s, something in their demeanor changes. A normally responsible father assigns a dangerous farm chore to a much-too-young son. A vigilant grandfather drives in front of an oncoming train. And they all develop the thousand mile stare a wistful, blank gaze off into the distance, as though they are trying to find the missing pieces of themselves. A compelling and beautifully written personal account of one family s quest to beat this most dreaded disease. Each family member afflicted or not has to find their own way to meet this challenge.

Gary Reiswig has been a farmer, a clergyman, a community worker, a publican, an estate agent, and an Alzheimer's activist. He is the author of the novel, Water Boy.
