Mother's Secret: A Nutritionist's View of Family and Alzheimer's Disease

Written by Marilyn Walls

Narrated by Astrid Lanigan

Artfully blending the genres of memoir and scientific research, Mother's Secret: A Nutritionist's View of Family and Alzheimer's Disease offers the compelling story of one woman's southern roots. She is familiar, perhaps like your mother or grandmother, a woman who gained strength during the upheavals of the Great Depression and World War II. Her independence served her well until dementia overwhelmed her and challenged her relationship with her daughters.

Sadly, the spread of progressive brain disorders is wider than the Mississippi River. Mother's Secret, a hybrid book confronting these issues, combines personal experiences with information about a healthful diet, the benefits of botanicals, and current discoveries about brain function. Walls' powerful story will resonate with families affected by Alzheimer's, students in holistic or social programs, those wanting to make better choices for their own cognitive health, and anyone who likes a good read. While looking directly at the realities of Alzheimer's, the narrative transcends the disease to reveal both the loss and the glory of this mother's life.
