SUMMARY:Meet the Author Event at Collinsville Library
DESCRIPTION:The Collinsville Memorial Library Center invites you to meet local author Carolyn Mers who will discuss experiences from the first 10 years of her mother's dementia.  She documented the daily ups and downs of this disease in "The Alzheimer's Roller Coaster: The Story of our Ride."  Openly revealing her insecurities\, fears\, and stress\, as well as her own subsequent health issues\, Mers's story is both very personal and widely universal.\n\nMers also recently had a short story\, "We Are a Family\," selected for inclusion in the newest edition of "Chicken Soup for the Soul: Living with Alzheimer's and Other Dementias."  This story describes the experience of finding an extended family while choosing a skilled care facility.\n\n"The Alzheimer's Roller Coaster" will be on sale after the presentation.
