This is the second book of poems by Iris Therese Smith Reid inspired by the experience of caring for a dementia sufferer and the high and low points of their home life. Her husband was diagnosed with dementia more than seven years ago, and since then Iris has chronicled the impact his illness has had on their life together. Her poems express what it really means when the connection between two people is held together by a great bond of devotion - even through the most demanding times. As a complete contrast, a selection of more-amusing verse ends the book in a lighter vein.
