Sandeep Jauhar's memoir explains how Alzheimer's works – and how it affected his dad

NPR's Book of the Day

As a physician, Sandeep Jauhar had a certain understanding of Alzheimer's. Then, when the disease was impacting his own father, more and more questions, confusion, and frustrations arose. In his new memoir, My Father's Brain, Jauhar describes how his immigrant family grappled with his father's new reality. He tells Here & Now's Deepa Fernandes how difficult and exhausting it can be to allocate the resources that it takes to care for an aging loved one, and how cultural context can play a huge role in their safety.
