Losing Johanna Zella Smoak

When You Lose Who You Are... What's Left? Johanna Moss is looking forward to the next stage of her life: after a successful career as an attorney, she decides to move back to her childhood home in Montana, where she will blend the memories of her past with the reality of the woman she's become. But Johanna doesn't know that she is being stalked by a thief that will steal from her the one gift she values most. This gripping, gorgeous novel tells the story of her descent into Alzheimer's Dementia, as experienced by those who love her, and also from Johanna's own uniquely illuminating point of view. Losing Johanna is exuberant, funny, tragic, and ultimately redemptive. Readers will be inspired by Johanna's bravery, her humor, and above all, the profound humanity of her journey through time and memory.
