To Gillian's own surprise, \"as the words bounced back at me off the page, magic happened\". The letters began to morph into a book, and the writing of it gradually released Gillian from her mother's influence. The result is a powerful, touching, uplifting and often very funny account of one woman's emotional and practical battle with the chaos caused by dementia.This book (the title comes from a small piece of nonsense spoken by Gillian's mother) brings a new insight into the effects of dementia on those caught up in it. It will make a valuable and original contribution to the debate on dementia care.\"Dementia drops like a pebble into the pond of family life, and its ripples spread out in ever-increasing circles of devastation.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 140\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 16, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47393598013625,"sku":"9781861513762","price":19.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/4309\/4713\/files\/edSkqIRrJ_9781861513762.webp?v=1780969993","url":"https:\/\/thoobo.com\/products\/up-the-creek-without-a-tadpole-dementia-shatters-and-rebuilds-the-bond-between-a-mother-and-a-daughter-paperback","provider":"Thoobo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
