Program Description

Details

Join us for an intimate evening with New York City bestselling author Mary Hogan whose new novel, Left: A Love Story was inspired by her real-life marriage to a man with early Alzheimer's. With humor and insight, Mary will discuss her experiences spotting early signs of trouble, the perils of undiagnosed dementias, creative caretaking, nursing home vs. home care, and living, loving and coping when a loved one leaves you little by little.

Left is the story of a marriage. A love story…with a twist.

Mary will be joined by a caregiving and memory support expert to expand the community conversation about the many issues related to Alzheimer's and other dementias: other early signs, the pros and cons of long term care insurance, ways to ready your home so you or a loved one can age in place, paperwork to get done, etc. 

In our country today, someone develops Alzheimer's every 65 seconds! Even if it's not you or a family member, all of us will be affected as the enormous number of baby boomers age into illness. 

Join us for a frank discussion of this timely topic. Afterward, Mary will stay to sign your personal copies of Left: A Love Story or any of her other books.
