With You in the Moment is a heartfelt memoir about one family's experience of dementia, told with warmth, honesty, and a belief in the power of presence. Rather than focusing on loss, it offers a hopeful perspective-showing how creativity, humour, and practical care can help preserve dignity and connection.
Through everyday experiences-doctor's visits, changing routines, unexpected crises, and quiet victories-the family learns to adapt with compassion, focusing on strengths rather than limitations. The result is a deeply human story that embraces the messiness and beauty of living well, even in the face of a difficult condition.
This is not a clinical guide, but a personal reflection on mindset, resilience, and the enduring bonds that hold us together. With You in the Moment offers gentle insight and inspiration for anyone living with dementia or supporting someone they love, reminding us that even in uncertainty, there is room for joy.

With You in the Moment by Marcus Batterbury is a moving memoir that is well written and wonderfully compassionate in how he addresses incorrect assumptions about life with dementia...Batterbury invites us to rethink what it means to live intentionally, and to respect identity and presence, offering understanding and hope to those who are happy to be with the ones we love in the moment. - Asher Syed for Readers' Favorite
Batterbury chronicles his family's experience with his mother's dementia with warmth, humour, and devotion...Overall, the book works best as a tribute to a remarkable, much-loved woman, written with genuine tenderness; its emphasis on validation, dignity, and emotional presence is universal. A heartfelt tribute that prioritizes personal history. - Kirkus
With You in the Moment is recommended not just for those struggling over a dementia diagnosis, but for general readers who would better understand how to get the most out of each day...Readers won't expect the sense of empowerment that is transmitted by these lives and touchstones of change-but it's vivid and is an important part of what makes With You in the Moment special. - Midwest Book Review
