Show Notes

Author Carrie Knowles was awarded a North Carolina Arts Council grant to write her memoir in 1994. The Last Childhood: A Family Story of Alzheimer's recounts her arduous (is there any other word to describe this experience) and often rending experience with her mother's disease. She updated the book in 2017 to include her experience following her mother's death.
With courage and candor, Carrie shares more of this experience with us on this week's episode. Please tune in to this important conversation. You can  learn more about Carrie and her work at www.cjanework.com
