Daughters Michelle Powe and Alexandra Allred are forced to step in to do a job no child (grown or otherwise) ever wants to do. True to thier upbringing however Michelle and Alexandra approach each new task as a military strike or information-gathering mission.Operation Caregivers: #LifewithDementia is a laugh-out-loud heartbreaking story about two exceptional people who never had a chance against dementia and Alzheimers. Told by youngest daughter Alexandra stories of Col. Powes extraordinary exploits in the military and adventures from around the world the reader is reminded again and again of the toll dementia can take on us all.While the book reads more like a novel than a self-help book the second half of the book is a compilation of what-to-do and what-not-to-do lists Allred discovered as she blundered through her role as Power of Attorney. Prepare to laugh prepare to fall in love with the Powes grab a box of tissues and get your Living Will ready. #LifewithDementia is so much more than you thought it would be!
