The Urgency of Living: My Life with Early-Onset Alzheimer's

Description

At 39, Sandra Demontigny learned she had an early-onset, hereditary form of Alzheimer's disease, the same disease that took her father at 53. How does one live with this constant threat hanging over them? In *The Urgency of Living*, she shares her daily life, her thoughts and ideas, her moods and humor, her memories and hopes, her anger and enthusiasm. It's her daily struggle, where no victory is too small. A midwife for 16 years, she welcomed hundreds of lives into the world. Today, she advocates for access to medical assistance in dying and seizes every moment with the energy of hope. Her poignant and profoundly vibrant story is that of a woman whose courage and resilience are as admirable as they are inspiring.
