About the Event
Join author Fay Martin at the Library for a conversation and reading from her memoir, Dementia Widow.
Fay Martin, MSW, PhD, spent fifteen years as wife-turned-caregiver for her husband as dementia reshaped their lives. Dementia Widow invites readers into the hidden world of spousal caregiving - its love, loss, exhaustion, invisibility, and on-going quest to remain a person with identity and agency. Both deeply personal and broadly relevant, her story offers comfort to caregivers and insight for those who serve them.
This event is free to attend, and drop-in. Stay for a book signing and Q&A with the author. Fay will have copies of her book for sale at the event.
Please consider bringing a non-perishable food item donation for the Little Free Pantry.
