Samenvatting:

STEEL LOVE is the sequel to Deane Johnson's 2011 memoir, I'LL BE SEEING YOU. Whereas I'LL BE SEEING YOU documented Deane's journey from the time her husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2003 until he was moved into a care facility in 2010, STEEL LOVE documents her journey with Joe from the time he was moved into the care facility until his death in 2015. It is the other half of the story, documenting the final stages of this life-altering disease as well as the mental and physical decline of a man who was admired by all who knew him.STEEL LOVE reads like a novel, providing a heartwarming and educational story even for those who are not directly touched by Alzheimer's. At its core, it is a love story. It is the account of two lovers, after sixty years of marriage, journeying into the winter years of life and discovering the depth of their love and faith.
