Capturing Keith Oliver's journey from diagnosis to the present day, this empowering book combines reflective diary entries with retrospective pieces to provide a unique insight into life with dementia. Keith Oliver was diagnosed with young onset dementia at the age of 55. Unaware at the time that dementia could affect people of this age, Keith set out to increase public awareness of the condition and dispel the myths about the illness. Using a unique diary format, this intimate and empowering memoir captures what everyday life with dementia is like, offering both a candid look at its struggles, and a profoundly moving account of Keith's journey to live a full life afterwards. Keith Oliver is a leading advocate for dementia and aged care and an international speaker, is heavily involved with Dementia UK and the first person with dementia to address the UN Committee on human rights and disability. Foreword by Professor Linda Clare and Rachael Litherland.
