What if everything you believed in and worked for crumbled on the same day?
Dr. Will Newman has it all-prestige, power, and fame. But when his groundbreaking psychiatric research fails and a devastating personal diagnosis derails his future, he is crushed. Reeling and despondent, he inexplicably quits his high-profile job as department head of a renowned university program and retreats to a lowly state hospital. The government facility treats those who suffer from chronic mental illness and ironically goes by the acronym of F.R.E.S.H. Will's hidden motive for this change is the epitome of desperation.
At F.R.E.S.H., Will struggles to make sense of the magical moments of serendipity he experiences. The hospital is filled with unforgettable events and characters that move him. He is especially drawn to one intriguing and compassionate co-worker. But he will not, he cannot, risk getting close to any of them. The unexpected purpose being offered, and the affections he feels, must be resisted. Hope is just another delusion in a hospital filled with them.
The Dementia Diaries is a gripping, emotionally rich novel about being forced to let go of everything you thought was real, only to discover what matters. For readers who are unafraid to deal with issues of mental health and grief and are willing to believe in the healing power of a loving community, this story delivers a journey that will stay with them long after the final page.
