My Dad, Our Alzheimer's: A Family's Spiritual Journey With the Other Side

By Patricia Manly

If you were visited by a "man" from the other side warning you to change your ways, would you deny him? That is exactly what my dad, ex-power lifter George Manly faced and the decision he made changed his life forever.

"My Dad, Our Alzheimer’s” is a memoir about an angry man who was humbled into becoming the kind, generous and loving man he became when he developed Alzheimer's. His incredible journey began in 2007 with three days of pain followed by visits from a "man" warning him to change before it was too late. Three nights in a row he came; three times he denied the man. This spiritual journey of extreme emotional highs and lows consumed him for 5 and 1/2 years till the day "the visitors" came to take him home.

This inspirational story will leave you on the edge of your seat. It will make you laugh. It will make you cry. You will be left with three things that he taught his daughter: the small things in life bring the greatest joy, it's never too late to change, and do not fear anything in life; especially death".
