Stardust: An Alzheimer's Love Story.
Morris, Edward.
Entertainment reporter and playwright Edward Morris and his wife Norma had lived in separate houses for 34 years when they discovered Norma was in the early stages of Alzheimer's. Although each had established individual careers—she as a publicist for such Grammy winning artists as Ralph Stanley and Steve Wariner—Ed decided to move into the home Norma had purchased on her own as her caregiver. What they had in common was a love for songs from the Great American Songbook, particularly those recorded by Willie Nelson in his classic album, Stardust. That album would become a focal point of their lives as Norma's dementia progressed. Simultaneously, Ed began chronicling the ups and downs of caring for her on Facebook. These accounts became so popular that eventually Nelson sent Norma a video expressing his thanks and best wishes. This is no bleeding-heart book. There's plenty of humor and salty language. But it's absolutely honest (down to discussing their outside love affairs), and positively fascinating.
