A writing couple searches for answers when Alzheimers causes one of them to lose the place where stories come from -- memory. At the age of fifty-three, Tony walks away from a life of journalism and into an unknown future. June is forty-eight, a writer and teacher, and over the following decade watches as her husband changes -- in interests, goals, and behaviour -- until Tony has a fall, ending the life they had known. A diagnosis is seven years away, yet the signs of Alzheimers are all around. A suitcase Tony packs for a trip is jammed with four umbrellas, a visual symbol of cognitive looping. But how far back do these signs go? The couple starts probing the past and finding answers. This is not an old persons disease.About author(s):June Hutton has written two novels and facilitates writing workshops at a treatment centre for addiction. Tony Wanless worked for a variety of newspapers across Canada, including the Financial Post and the Province, and is taking part in a study on Alzheimers at UBC Hospital. They live in Vancouver.
