Life, not death, in the world of Alzheimer's Broken Beauty is a journey of the author's mother, called Beauty, and her journey through the world of Alzheimer's. But the book's sole focus isn't on death, loss, or devastation. While these components play a part, this is overall, the story of a family who has grasped on to life, not death, and who celebrates victory over tragedy. Sarah Smith tells a story about the caregivers, the facility, the friends, the family, the events, the struggles, the suffering, the pain, the hope--and more than anything else--the abundant love all around us. Smith makes us witnesses to a unique kind of love that cannot be proven by scientists. God's love resides everywhere you look within these pages and within the walls where Beauty resides.
