Review

My Two Elaines will touch the heart of every caregiver who has given his or her own to a loved one. Marty's story of selflessness and struggle will offer strength for many caregivers across our country who act as everyday heroes. --US Senator Tammy Baldwin

What this book reminds us is that whatever our differences--our backgrounds, temperament, socioeconomic status, and, yes, even gender--the often difficult experience of caregiving can become a meaningful expression of our humanity and, as it is for Marty Schreiber, of his love for his two Elaines. --Piero G. Antuono, MD, Director, Dementia Research Center, Medical College of Wisconsin; Medical and Scientific Advisory Panel, Alzheimer's Disease International

Marty Schreiber has written a book that will prove to be invaluable to the Alzheimer's community. His personal experience (and wisdom gained) as a caregiver is shared in such an honest and impactful way that it should be mandatory reading for all individuals who step forward to serve in this capacity. In addition, this book will inspire all of us who are committed to the vision of the Alzheimer's Association: a world without Alzheimer's. --David Simbro, Senior Vice President, Northwestern Mutual; National Board Member, Alzheimer's Association
