As a coping mechanism, Vicki kept a journal detailing the many challenges her family faced along the way. Over time, her diary became a roadmap of sorts, morphing into the award-winning memoir Somebody Stole My Iron: A Family Memoir of Dementia. <\/p>\n<p>About Dorothy Horne:<br \/>\nDorothy Horne is an author, speaker, and a former award-winning blogger for the Longview News-Journal.

She had no aspirations to write a book, however when both parents were diagnosed on the same day with Alzheimer&#8217;s, her journey as their caregiver poured out on paper through Alzheimer&#8217;s Daughter. After the sadness of her parents decline, life brought her comfort and healing through the formation of AlzAuthors.com, cofounded with Marianne Sciucco and Vicki Tapia. What started as a one-month collaboration has now taken on a thriving life of its own for a decade. <\/p>\n<p>About Carol Bradley Bursack:<br \/>\nCarol Bradley Bursack was a caregiver for an older neighbor and seven aging family members, all of whom are represented by first-person vignettes in Minding Our Elders: Caregivers Share Their Personal Stories.
