Weaving stories of travel, humorous events, and sorrow, the reader is taken on a tumultuous journey to witness the ravages of Alzheimer's disease on the human mind, and the impact on those who provide care for the victim. It is a deeply personal story of a family's struggle to come to terms with the devastating effects of Alzheimer's, which reduces a previously vibrant and creative mother, to a fraction of her self. As researchers struggle against time to find a cure, the reader is left asking the question '...could that be me?' Only time will tell.Jennylynd James lives in Toronto, Canada where she has embraced self expression in art, music, and writing as a new lifestyle. Her experiences with her mother who suffered a slow demise as a result of Alzheimer's disease, were the inspiration to create this memoir, Where Are My Car Keys?
