The Unexpected Journey: Finding Strength, Hope, and Yourself on the Caregiving Path
by Emma Heming Willis - Inspirational, Nonfiction, Self-Help

The day Emma Heming Willis’ husband, Bruce Willis, was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), all they were given was a pamphlet and told to check back in a few months. With no hope or direction, Emma walked out of that doctor’s appointment frozen with fear, confusion and a sense that her world had just fallen apart. In fact, it had. Bruce and Emma had their story written, their future mapped out. Yet all those dreams crumbled with that diagnosis, and Emma felt alone and more isolated than ever. With THE UNEXPECTED JOURNEY, Emma has written the book she wishes she’d been handed on the day of Bruce’s diagnosis: a supportive guide to navigating the complicated, heartbreaking and transformative experience that is caregiving for your loved one.
