Alzheimer's is a disease that slowly consumes an individual's brain and causes a major impact on the mind. The medical definition of mind is "that which thinks, reasons, perceives, wills and feels." In neuroscience, there is no duality between the mind and the body; they are one. The mind appears in no way separate from the brain. If this is true, people who suffer from Alzheimer's may as well be considered "the walking dead" - they just don't realize it.
It is the desire of the author to shine light on how Alzheimer's ruthlessly affects behavior by taking readers through the different stages of her grandmother's battle with the disease. Alzheimer's disease is an abnormal way for an individual to age. It is fatal, and it consists of much more than just memory loss to the elderly. Jane's story will give readers insight into what really happens in the world of an Alzheimer's patient.
98 pages in length, Alzheimer's Killing Me Unknowingly: Jane's Story is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the autobiography and personal memoirs category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, Alzheimer's Killing Me Unknowingly meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $11.95.
Additionally, Alzheimer's Killing Me Unknowingly can be ordered by retailers or wholesalers for the maximum trade discount price set by the author in quantities of ten or more from the Outskirts Press Direct bookstore at www.outskirtspress.com/bookstore.

About the author:
The author, Jana Pryor, has a Masters degree in Human Resource Management and currently resides in North Texas. She was Jane's sole caretaker for over five years -- much longer than most people can endure -- prior to admitting her to an Alzheimer's patient facility. Jana knows first-hand how debilitating Alzheimer's can be. She believes society should not just be aware of the disease, but also be increasingly concerned, especially with baby boomers living longer. It is her desire to become a "voice" for the elderly by showing readers the devastating effects of Alzheimer's.
