Found it informative.

[Milton Jacobs · Rating 5 out of 5]

In this book, Lisa Skinner discusses what every family caregiver needs to know in helping someone with dementia without sacrificing themselves. This book also builds us to be human; to not think of an old woman diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease as a ‘nut’; to be aware of the phase these people are going through; to relate to them, and adjust to reality while making the most of it.
The author doesn’t give false hope but rather lets us learn more about the disease and feel the sense to support and understand them more. Stepping into this journey is going to be tough for everyone. But still, nothing is more fulfilling than being acknowledged – and that’s what we need to do, to recognize them more than ever because no one is going to help them other than their fellow humans.
I have learned so much while reading the “Truth, Lies & Alzheimer’s Its Secret Faces”, here are a few, and the rest is for you to find out:
· A practical belief on how we could enhance the quality of life for these people while minimizing the stress to those who are involved.
· Lifesaving insights that will surely be helpful for the family of the patient.
· Stories and ideas from real families.
· The benefits of being aware of these experiences.
· Wealth of knowledge and wisdom readers would get from the beginning until the very end.
Such a good book will surely bring joy to the caregiver and the patient. I am so happy I read this, for I will be able to share this information with a friend of mine who has a father with Alzheimer’s. And I believe that these tips will let him live in peace.

A piece of literature written by Lisa Skinner is seamlessly woven from real-life prose and prepped with vivid images as well as clarity. This book tells us the story of multiple people who have and have been struggling to pull themselves together while living with Alzheimer’s disease. And Skinner gives us care guides from those situations, practical tips, and information that will improve the lives of our loved ones who are suffering from this mental illness. Moreover, it also helps caregivers to cope with their own emotions and needs.

Life is unpredictable. You will never know what comes next. Alzheimer’s attacks without warning, and it might be to a loved one. When we become old, things like this are inevitable. So, it is better to be knowledgeable enough to be prepared. Just like in Lisa's situation, she got so fuming mad after a Policeman called her grandmother a retard, when in fact, she is mentally ill and diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. And yes, that's two different things. If all of us would be educated on these certain issues, we wouldn't offend anyone. It's already tough for the family— being uninformed, and spitting out unpleasant words, will make them more upset. In this case, Lisa Skinner's “Truth, Lies & Alzheimer’s Its Secret Faces” is the best book, to begin with.
This is a real eye-opener to things that some of us have never seen.

Having seen my friend’s Grandma go through Alzheimer’s, and my lovely neighbor too, I have always seen both Alzheimer’s and Dementia as two of the worst problems a person could experience. The person loses their personality and memories, and those left to care for them have a hard time, emotionally and physically. I have fond memories of my neighbor, who was always in the front garden, with his wife, beavering away. “Hello dear,” he’d say jovially as I stopped for a quick chat as a child and young girl. So when he went spiraling down at the command of his disease, I not only didn’t see him again, I didn’t see his wife wither, for she was indoors in the end, caring for him and too scared to go out and leave him on his own. She aged quickly and found it hard to accept help. Her dedication was commendable, but we saw her deteriorate as time went on.

But this gave me an extra push to read this book, as I wanted to know what it was like to be a sufferer and also a carer, not just from my thoughts and knowledge, but from a person who had really been through it. And Lisa's book is the perfect story to read to gain full insight. Each story is full of love, hope, compassion, strength, information, and sadness, and I recommend this book to everyone!

[Trisha Gagne · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is one of the best books you’ll ever read this year. The catch? The characters suffer from dementia, hallucinations, memory loss, paranoia, etc. – making them wholly intriguing yet unreliable people to follow.

Calm polished prose that lets us into the lives of tens of people who have Alzheimer’s disease and those that have a history of having one. It's a short, gorgeous story, full of love, life, and caring.
TRUTH, LIES & ALZHEIMER'S Its Secret Faces is a very helpful guide in understanding what our loved ones are going through when they begin to show signs of Alzheimer’s. It helps families to fathom the issues and challenges they will be dealing with as a family. Be ready for the strain it will cause you and the how’s that'll mitigate them in order to avoid tearing your family apart. It's always great to be on the upper hand, to be knowledgeable enough on things that are uncommon for some, because in this case, you know that such behaviors aren’t done on purpose, nor is it controlled by that certain person. Thus, you are prepared not to take it personally or overreact.
A good resource indeed. I’m glad I found it.

An excellent and extremely helpful book to anyone caring for someone with dementia and could also be a great awareness book for those who have no idea how this disease controls a person.
Books like this have helped me and my sister the quality of our mother’s life after he became one of the thousands who has been affected by Alzheimer’s. As she is being affected by this cruel disease, our life turns upside down. It was delved into chaos because, for one, her hallucinations and paranoia are getting extreme, and the other was we don’t know how to deal with it nor have the money to send her to treatment. And being the bookworm I am, books become my go-to for asking for help and advice. Here, Lisa taught me techniques on how to handle our mom. The how’s of interacting with her, learning the best way to communicate with her, and discovering some tips on how to keep him engaged and focused as much as possible.

This book has saved me from so much stress and helped me figure things I didn’t know she was suffering from. Truly remarkable! A quick and easy read wherein you can find reassuring advice.

Lisa Skinner tells us a practical approach to the emotional and mental well-being of both the person with dementia and their caregiver. She gives emphasis to the solutions, like letting yourself go with the flow of diving into their own reality. You might get disappointed, but Alzheimer’s doesn’t have a cure. It would be a very rare case to bring them back, it's a one in a million chance, but there's hope. Learning a new technique that will make you realize what really matters, enjoying the remaining time spent with them is what's important. If you could relate to them and focus on improving the communication between you two, then nothing is impossible — I have seen this tip used and is proven successful with the real-life story she has told us.

This is an outstanding book that will help us how to handle and care for someone with Alzheimer’s. I highly recommend it. This masterpiece is truly eye-opening and valuable for helping and interacting with someone who is suffering from a progressive neurologic disorder. This will allow caregivers to have a far more enriched relationship with the sufferer. I firmly believe that this would improve the quality of your life.

[Enrique Rogers · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is full of encouraging and inspiring stories by caregivers like me. One of them was the author herself. Her ‘nana’ was diagnosed and has suffered from senile dementia. Her grandmother would always call the police several times to report the birds who peck in her face at night, the thieves, and the men who were her reason for not wanting to shower, for she believes that they would kill her. The officer’s unfamiliarity with the disease resorted to them calling her ‘crazy’ and ‘nut’. This made Lisa mad. And even though she wanted to turn back time and change their mind, she couldn’t, and so she made this book to educate people in honor of her grandmother’s memory.
This is just one of the stories that Lisa has told us. And every chapter, there’s a story to listen to and a message to watch out for. It’s a wonderful source of support and encouragement all throughout our journey. It gives an easy-to-understand view of what Alzheimer’s does to humans, how it’s diagnosed, and how to deal with its effects. The aim of the author is to not only educate us but to explore different perceptions.

[Kayson Coleman · Rating 4 out of 5]

Truth, Lies & Alzheimer’s Its Secret Faces offers insights into the emotional well-being in understanding the way people with dementia view many situations. Skinner addresses the emotional grief issues that they go through, which also affects the people around them.
I think that this book is intentionally written in easily understood plain language for all readers to access the information without having a hard time identifying what is what and which is which. This is a terrific account of how Alzheimer's disease and other dementia illnesses affect our loved ones. I found the setup of the book to be perfect as it moves from the story of the patient to the solution they come up with to handle the situation and the authors take on that specific circumstance.
It's truly amazing how I've only gotten to chapter 1, and I've found the answers to half a dozen situations that have been driving me crazy. Skinner states in the introduction that she wants to enlighten and educate people about this disease. And by narrating it from the various perspectives of the people with the diagnosis, she certainly met that high bar.

[Sarah Roberts · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book became more significant to me when my father started showing signs of dementia over the last few months. It is still early days for my father, and he is still awaiting tests before being diagnosed, but many of the things Lisa describes in her book were very enlightening and have helped me personally with my understanding of this awful illness.

This book is the first book written by a person who is working with families facing Alzheimer's and Dementia-related illnesses. It is truly inspirational, thought-provoking, and a true insight into Alzheimer's/Dementia. Having seen how my father’s mind has deteriorated over such a short time, I can see that this book must have taken so much effort to write, and I have nothing but admiration for Lisa.

So, I say to you that the book's title unnecessarily limits the target audience to direct people who have loved ones having these illnesses. You may not be one - you may simply be a friend - but you may just find yourself being one of the last people someone with AD trusts - and associates with good memories. This book will help you make the most of those remaining times together.

Another book that would surely captivate you as you delve into the pages. At the very beginning, the book is undeniably straightforward and intense. And that’s one of the things that I liked about it. The author kept the tone of the book the same from beginning to end. It provides helpful tips, suggestions, and practical solutions to some challenges that people are having with someone in the family having Alzheimer’s. In this book, one might learn what it means to be a “stranger in the mirror”, and the difference between dementia and Alzheimer’s.
I also love the fact that Lisa opens up very intriguing titles for every new story. I never realized that people with Alzheimer’s could also be short-tempered and workaholics. However, it’s not in place. They have forgotten so many things, including their jobs, their face, their family members, and more. The thought of it is scary. Imagine forgetting your face, and when you look in the mirror, seeing a different person must be a terrifying idea. I love the book and the author. It’s a great publication to provide important information regarding this organ failure.

[Quinn Clements · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was very interested in reading this book, having had both my parents die from the result of Alzheimer’s, my mother from early-onset, and my father had Lewy body type.

The disease has intrigued me due to both going this way - and wondering if it was hereditary, environmental, or medical factors that had something to do with it.

This book really did give me hope for the future of Alzheimer’s patients. My mother tragically spent many, many years in a chair not speaking; occasionally, you would see tears slipping down her cheek. And her eyes would sparkle, and we knew she understood, but no one had any idea how to treat the people with this distressing disease.

If only we knew, if only others knew, she would have had some dignity in her last years. Anyone with a relative or friend with Alzheimer’s should read this book, anyone who fears it should also read this book and find some hope within it. Everyone should read this and understand that the people with Alzheimer’s can live fruitful lives, not be stuck in a chair and hidden away.

[Caroline Nelson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Reading their stories evokes so many feelings in me. It was thought-provoking and eye-opening; it would let you learn how this disease should be perceived and portrayed. The book discussed various aspects and presented them in a different light. I learned things I didn't know. It gives readers a better grasp of how the patients see the world around them and how far it is from what ordinary people see, in which the former can exacerbate a lot of situations and cause many catastrophic reactions.
Excellent, simple, and concrete. There are stories in every chapter some could relate to, and others could learn from. Solutions are shown after about how caregivers could handle that certain situation better. This is a book I will keep. One that I would never forget and be imprinted in my heart for years. I am glad I have the privilege to read one of Skinner’s masterpieces. Picking this book up was no disappointment. No regrets have arisen. But pure joy now that I’ve become more aware of this disease.

[Zane Hayes · Rating 4 out of 5]

With a very close loved one having been diagnosed with dementia, I tried to find a book that would help me expand my knowledge about the disease. Seeing my problems discussed in this book really resonated with me, it helped validate my experience and bolstered my feelings of a job well done.
When dealing with someone with this terrible disease, there are so many questions that pop into our minds. Things that we didn’t know we would bring to light someday. In this book, lots of great creative suggestions have been made.
The author has done her homework! Lisa shows us how to see things from the patient’s viewpoint, which enables effective solutions to perplexing problems. I believe that even if you are not involved in the care of a loved one, you should still read this for awareness of the things people go through in the later stage of their lives. Always keep in mind that they aren't trying to give you a hard time; instead, they are having a hard time, and they have no choice because they themselves have no control over themselves.

I am new to dealing with memory loss. We're getting old, and my husband has been suffering from short-term memory loss, and it suddenly took a turn for the worse this year. I was left shocked and hopeless as we do not have extended family close by that could help us. Hence, reading this book helped us a lot. The author has a very good and compassionate understanding of Alzheimer’s.
Parts of the book were written from the point of view of the person inflicted with the disease, which I somehow find unique. I believe people who have no idea what dementia is would really get how cruel it could be for both the patient and the carer. This book helps us understand what a person is enduring. In conclusion, we must set our reactions aside and extend compassion. Don’t call someone with mental illness a retard, crazy, or nut because they are not. It is already difficult for them. Being in this situation is like walking on a tightrope. So, the only thing we could do for them was to grasp their condition and acknowledge them.

[Clarence Williams · Rating 4 out of 5]

There is a lot of good information in this book. The anecdotes are especially enlightening and inspiring. You can clearly see in the writing how much research and years of experience that author has poured into this book. She is very knowledgeable in this field, knowing that she has experienced being a caregiver herself, and I believe most people would benefit from her information and insight.
My aunt, who was now 80 years old, was placed under my guardianship three months ago. And she’s been suffering from Alzheimer’s recently. This book has answered my questions about this disease and how to deal with its unpredictable behavior. Now, I feel so much better and enjoy our time together after learning a few techniques. I understand that she is no longer mentally capable, and I have learned not to take what she says personally. I just wish I had this book earlier so I could deal with the signs I didn’t notice back then. This is a book not full of medical terms but is a book written for everyone else to understand. Definitely glad I own this book.

[Jaxon Phillips · Rating 5 out of 5]

Based on true-to-life scenarios of people experiencing Alzheimer’s and families dealing with a member having Alzheimer's, this book is a great resource. Very educational and such an eye-opener. I am recommending this book for a couple of reasons. Firstly, the narration is easy to understand. The author avoids using highfalutin and very technical words in order to explain this very complex disease. Secondly, the book has helpful charts to help explain Alzheimer's from dementia. According to her, dementia is an organ failure in the brain that is caused by Alzheimer’s and it affects a large amount of the population in the United States, which makes this disease very scary and dangerous. Moreover, only a few people have truly understood what this disease is all about. Maybe, it’s time to flip a few pages of this book and get amazed by the content of the book. Finally, there’s nothing to dislike about the book. Everything written is highly educational, and every piece of information is practical. I truly admire the author’s ingenuity and effort in publishing this publication.

[Joseph Hughes · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am recommending this book because it surely got my attention. The case of the people living with someone who has Alzheimer’s is heartbreaking, especially if the people living around do not know what to do. I know nothing about Alzheimer’s, but just the thought of it gives me chills at first. However, right after reading this book, I experienced a change of heart.
Upon reading this book, I truly learned what it means to love, to be a family, to be complete strangers, to help other people, and to take care of others. One of the best lessons that I read in the book to help people with Alzheimer’s is to open a conversation with these people, speak to them and ask them questions about life. Just like the story of Sam, he was lucky enough to have been assisted to a facility for a few years. Thanks to the help of Julia.
In my own opinion, I find this book very eye-opening. Giving practical examples to provide solutions for people having Alzheimer’s. It was a great read and I never regret it.

[Gael Gardner · Rating 4 out of 5]

I understand that each one of us has its different struggles when we deal with a mental disease like Alzheimer’s and dementia. At times, seeking professional help is expensive. However, you wouldn’t believe that you could learn something and ultimately find that healing process that you were looking for upon reading this book.
As the author describes, many families give up easily after many times of struggling and battling Alzheimer’s. I’m just glad that the author provides a positive take on combating this dreadful disease. She rightfully exposed the truths and especially the lies that surround this disease—providing intense and practical solutions. In all honesty, I was bothered by the police officer who approached them, and without carefully looking at the situation, he recklessly made a horrible comment to Lisa’s mother. This is just one of the heartbreaking experiences that the victim had gone through. My wish is for them to find the ultimate healing and fair treatment that they deserve.

[Linda Young · Rating 4 out of 5]

Thanks to Lisa Skinner, this book has helped our family in so many aspects. A great book for beginners to understand Alzheimer’s disease. And regardless of the easy-to-understand writing of the writer, there’s complexity in her storytelling that would make you intrigued and enthralled by what’s more she can offer. I honestly didn’t want to put it down! I feel like I have learned how to deal with more situations without upsetting my grandmother anymore.

We are three years into our Alzheimer’s journey with my granny. And this book was one of those that became so helpful for all of us on her caregiving team. I can pretty much say that this is the most remarkable out of all of them. What makes this different from the others is the fact that it doesn’t only teach us the terms and definition, the techniques and advice, but let us into the lives of the real patients. We could relate to them, which makes it more poignant.

[Sandra Mitchell · Rating 4 out of 5]

Dementia and Alzheimer’s are very personal and individual experiences—they vary from person to person. That is why I'm glad to have found a book that's full of real-life experiences from Alzheimer's patients. In this way, we could learn more than just taking medication or whatnot. At this point, we would know how to deal with a patient and also love ourselves without being emotionally drained and mentally stressed out.

A small detour from my life, I have raised children who are both born with learning disabilities that we needed to address early on in childhood. So, I have a few backgrounds in care techniques. However, now that my spouse, after many years of serving in the military, has developed his own sense of reality. I thought I had a pretty sound comprehensive understanding of dementia, but I was wrong. And Lisa Skinner has transformed my thinking and fed my curiosity in just a 60-page book.

[Tray Girard · Rating 5 out of 5]

Alzheimer’s disease and dementia could be devastating. Ties may be broken within the family due to anger, impatience, or hate for these innocent victims of this terrible disease.

In this book, Lisa Skinner tries to enlighten the readers on what to do and not what to do. While it is true that there’s no 100% cure for Alzheimer’s, she showed us how to practically care for these people. With the amazing stories of different accounts of people who have this kind of disease, this book is going to grip your heart and soul. It’s filled with hope and love. Kudos to the author for making this complex topic into one that is chewable to those people who are not emotionally inclined and familiar with this type of disease. I must say that it was relatively a short read, but it was full of profound and groundbreaking insights delivered in the most lighthearted way to impress the minds of the readers.

[Barbara Lane · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book has made me laugh out loud during the moments I felt teary-eyed; it puts a pure smile on my face on wholesome scenes, and I felt like sobbing for most of the story. It was a rollercoaster ride of emotions, but what really kept me going was the silver lining that Lisa left at the end of the chapters. She entails hope, and that’s what those people have been holding on to keep going.
Being a caregiver, we have to let go of our inhibitions, of the preconceived notions that we want to think of how they should act, we have to let go of the things that we believe is the best for them. We have to stop controlling them and just let them be because that’s how we could create moments of joy without stress and chaos.
It reminds us that we are all humans. Acknowledging these people and normalizing their experiences makes this earth a safe place for all of us, where there’s no hate, and we’re all treated equally despite our diversity.

[Shane Fisher · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you, or someone you know, are dealing with a family member who has been diagnosed with dementia, I strongly encourage you to read this book.

I can only speak as someone who is not a caretaker of someone who has Alzheimer's, and none of my family members currently have it (though I have a family history of it, which is why I picked this up in the first place), but this was a wonderful guide and very clearly and kindly written. I think even reading a little bit about Alzheimer's and dementia can make you a more caring and understanding citizen of the world, understanding a little further the depth of frustration some people have with a disease like this.

I'm fortunate enough to have all 4 of my grandparents still living. While reading this, I have found that I am more sensitive and understanding in the way I speak with my oldest grandparents, and that is a gift that undoubtedly will keep on giving as they age and my relationships with them change.

[Rodney Walker · Rating 4 out of 5]

What I like about Lisa Skinner as a writer is she approaches dementia care with clear and empathetic objectives. This book is not dedicated to healing the patient and turning them back to how they used to be. It would be a tough and long journey, but rather, give them a quality life contradictory to what they are supposed to become considering their disease.
Experiencing this herself, Lisa put into words her own and the stories she has heard of from people living with Alzheimer’s. From thereon, she developed methods for caregivers and family members that will help them ease emotional distress in order to solve challenging behaviors. There are a lot of good examples of how to deal with all kinds of situations and very practical advice you can start using with your loved one.
I’m not going to lie, but I think I got more useful information and strategies for dealing with Alzheimer’s from this book than I have from any physician we consulted. A must-read!

[Valentina Anderson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Alzheimer's and Dementia. This disease, of course, has personally touched my heart but has always been of interest to me, and I am glad I have read this book. My heart goes out to all of the families and persons afflicted with this disease, but as Lisa says in this book, "spending quality time with your loved one, and that’s the real magic."

This book is insightful, and I can see how this would be very helpful in providing tips on how to interact with your loved one who never really does forget who you are. It helps you discover who the person once was, even though they have forgotten parts of their lives, and helps the caregiver get through the difficult task of caring for a person with Dementia and Alzheimer's. I highly recommend this book for caregivers or even if you just want to learn about Alzheimer's and Dementia. This book has reminded me that we, as humans, must remain compassionate and kind. Without a human spirit, we are nothing.

[Briella Mason · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is an excellent means of support and helpful suggestions for anyone trying to maintain a decent and loving quality of life for a parent /relative dealing with the challenges of Dementia/Alzheimer's disease in all of its stages. The author writes with total honesty and clarity of her experiences with Alzheimer's and Dementia and offers readers hope, insight, and the underlying reassurance that every small moment counts. We get to share in the sometimes frustrating days of trying to alleviate a patient's anxiety, and we also see beautiful, miraculous breakthroughs and the resulting beaming, unexpected smiles. I loved this book; it reminds us all of our basic human responsibility to see beyond the outer shell of the presentation of a disease and to lovingly offer dignity, respect, and understanding. The author shows us that it is a true privilege to imprint another's life going forward and that we can indeed make a difference.

[Natalia Mitchell · Rating 4 out of 5]

Truth, Lies & Alzheimer’s Its Secret Faces turns out to be a lifesaver, especially for caregivers who shoulder so much responsibility, not only physically but also emotionally.
Great stories of real people and how they deal with dementia were tackled in this book. I’ve perceived later on that reading about other people’s experiences really helps than just reading a book full of terms and definitions.
I cannot recommend this book highly enough for those in a similar circumstance as I am and all the characters in the book. I bet this will become the second-best read after the Bible for most of the families who needed resources for answers and reassurance. It taught us how to deal with confusing behaviors, giving out helpful advice in so many aspects of caregiving. This book is a source of simple but vital encouragement to the families who are about to give up. If you are, like my family, who faces a future of having to take care of a loved one, then grab a copy of this book!

[Azariah Tucker · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book really opened my eyes to Alzheimer's and how it affects the families and the person who suffers from it.

My dad has moderate Alzheimer's. He and my stepmother read this book and really related to it and then passed it on to me. I liked the way it is written, with short chapters followed by further thoughts and lots of resources. I think a broad audience will find it useful. It's not filled with medical details that it's a slog - it's more about daily life. I wouldn't rely on it as the only book to read about Alzheimer's, but it's certainly a good one to have in one's library and is filled with useful tools.

If Alzheimer's has in any way touched your life, this is well worth reading. It's tough to get through, not because it is boring or poorly written, but because of the gauntlet of emotions experienced while reading it. What a senseless and horrible disease, but there can also be beauty found if you simplify things and focus on your loved one.

[Breanna Snyder · Rating 5 out of 5]

I found this book to be a great resource as I navigate the path I walked with my husband, who’s been dealing with dementia for years. Each chapter has valuable information to offer. There are different stories that indicate affirmation, assurance and deliver insightful thoughts for certain situations.
I have read and reread some paragraphs, highlighting words of wisdom throughout the book. This book is very well laid out. It explains so many behaviors I didn't understand and gives practical ideas for avoiding problems. A lot of information was shared that will definitely help people to understand more of how dementia affects a loved one. It has helped me become more aware of how to react to the day-to-day changes we are experiencing as a family. It will help you change your approach and lessen the stress all the way around.
This is definitely the most useful resource on dementia that I have read. It is a very worthwhile book on this terrible disease. Many thanks to the author!
