Who knew aging, memory-impaired mothers could surprise their reluctantly dutiful daughters? Jo's counter-intuitive take on caring for Mama Jo speaks to the resilience in late-life family care relationships. Jo delighted participants at Duke's Alzheimer's conference by encouraging them to seek fresh, positive and personal perspectives on caring. LISA P. GWYTHER, MSW, co-author The Alzheimer's Action Plan: A Family Guide, Director of Duke Aging Center Family Support Program
