A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

A deeply moving and beautifully written memoir about love, loss, and the choices we make in the face of adversity.

When Anne D. LeClaire's husband, Theo, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, she was determined to make the most of their remaining time together. She quit her job, sold their house, and moved into a small apartment where they could be close to each other and to the care they needed.

As Theo's condition worsened, Anne faced a series of difficult choices. Should she put him in a nursing home? Should she give up her own life to care for him full-time? Should she end his life when the time came?

Anne's memoir is a powerful and moving account of love, loss, and rediscovery. She writes with honesty and candor about the challenges of caregiving, the pain of watching a loved one slip away, and the hope that can be found even in the darkest of times.

Choosing Theo is a must-read for anyone who has ever been touched by Alzheimer's or dementia. It is a book that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
