"Nothing I do is really about me; it's all about making sure no one ends up like me."

"Nothing I do is really about me; it's all about making sure no one ends up like me," writes Emmy-award winning broadcast journalist Meryl Comer in her New York Times Bestseller, “Slow Dancing with a Stranger”.

Our August Pick of the Month, “Slow Dancing with a Stranger” is a profoundly personal, unflinching account of Meryl’s husband Harvey Gralnick's life with younger onset Alzheimer's disease. Harvey, a noted physician, researcher and former Chief of Hematology/Oncology at the National Institute of Health, lived with Alzheimer’s disease for more than 24 years.

Detailing the daily realities and sometimes overwhelming responsibilities of caregiving, Comer sheds intensive light on this global health crisis. She uses her personal experiences—the mistakes and the breakthroughs—to put a face to a misunderstood condition, while revealing the facts everyone needs to know.
