What do you do when your spouse of many years has Alzheimer’s? What happens to your marriage, your family, your own sense of self as the disease robs your loved one of his or hers? Marita Golden, the critically acclaimed author of over ten books as well as anthologies, took on those questions as she began the research for The Wide Circumference of Love. What she uncovered were both the hard numbers that will impact us all and the intuitive truths about what it means to love through this challenging disease. In the end, the novel is a meditation on love and an unflinching look at the ways in which identity, happiness, and the future are reforged in the wake of a single diagnosis.
