Dementia in a Loving Marriage
Where to find the book
About the Book
Meredith and Gary Marple’s deeply satisfying marriage was built on intellectual partnership and fierce independence. This real-time memoir chronicles eight brutal years of Gary’s descent into dementia, marked by the devastating impact of Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy. As Meredith sheds denial and steps fully into the role of caregiver, she finds that enduring love is the ultimate line of defense—even when preserving Gary’s dignity requires sacrificing her own freedom, identity, and dreams.

About the author
With a BS in zoology from Tufts University, Meredith Rutter Marple has enjoyed a career devoted to books—from textbook to trade publishing and then writing. She remembers her kindergarten classmates having to take naps (in the early 1950s during the polio scare) while she, promising to be quiet, was allowed to stay awake reading. She thanks her mother for that intervention. Meredith spends her time in Florida and Maine. Her award-winning debut novel, The Year Mrs. Cooper Got Out More, is set in Midcoast Maine. Hobbies include bridge, mahjong, and New York Times crossword puzzles.
