During her mother’s struggle with Alzheimer’s, Deborah Shouse explored ways to connect with her and developed new rituals to anchor holidays and other celebrations. She is joined by Ron Zoglin, a professional storyteller, and Michelle Niedens, education director of the Heart of America Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association, for a discussion of her book, which offers humor and hope to family members, friends, and caregivers.

Shouse is an author and founder of The Kansas City Star’s FYI Book Club. With Zoglin she has authored Antiquing for Dummies and Making Your Message Memorable: Communicating Through Stories.
