Author writes book about experience with mother’s Alzheimer’s journey
Author Cheryl Watkins, PhD, has always liked words and phrases, the way they sound and how people put them together. When she came up with the title of her book, the word that resonated was “her.” There was something about that word and she knew it had to be in the title, she called it “Releasing Her: Wrestling Peace from the Jaws of Alzheimer’s.” The book details Watkins’ five-year journey of caring for her mother who had Alzheimer’s Disease.
