But her diagnosis far from represented the end of her life. Instead, it was the start of a very different one. Wise, practical and life affirming, What I Wish People Knew About Dementia combines anecdotes, research and Wendy Mitchell's own brilliant wit and wisdom to tell readers exactly what she wishes they knew about dementia.

Wspomnienia, które dają nadzieję i siłę. Książka, którą powinien przeczytać każdy. Wyobraź sobie, że pracujesz na pełnych obrotach, a pewnego dnia dowiadujesz się, że masz chorobę Alzheimera. Czy można zapomnieć, jak wykonać manewr skrętu na skrzyżowaniu? Albo mylić cudzy dom z własnym? Czy naprawdę trzeba barykadować się w kuchni, by nie wyjść podczas gotowania? Wendy Mitchell, osoba, która nigdy niczego nie zapominała, staje w obliczu tych wyzwań. Pamiętała imiona osób spotkanych lata temu, a w pracy imponowała swoją pamięcią. Z czasem jednak nawet proste czynności zaczęły sprawiać jej trudności. Mimo narastających przeszkód, nigdy nie poddała się. Książka opowiada o życiu z demencją, lęku przed utratą siebie i o sposobach na przechytrzenie choroby, która codziennie odbiera część pamięci. Wendy pokazuje, że choć demencji nie da się pokonać, można nauczyć się z nią żyć. Udowadnia, że nawet pisanie książki jest możliwe, mimo trudności w formułowaniu myśli. Prowadzi bloga od dwóch lat, dzieląc się przemyśleniami i zapisując wydarzenia w pamięci zewnętrznej. Nigdy nie jest za późno na naukę, nawet w obliczu choroby mózgu.
