"Monica Vierling Hall’s book “Pouf” is a refreshing read as people can feel her authentic soul come through. You will laugh and cry with her on her journey of growth, walking along-side her father with dementia. Through storytelling and precious quotes from her father, readers get a peek into confusing and sometimes humorous comments that flow from him as his words don’t match our reality. I know you will appreciate this book for what it is – An honest and loving look at dementia; with all its twists and turns. Monica leads by example stepping into the world of dementia creating joyful moments and hope for those caring and serving those with dementia."

A heartwarming and heart-wrenching account of a loving daughter and the arduous journey endured watching her father go through the cruel and invasive progression of the mind degenerative and plundering disease of Alzheimer’s.
Her steadfast love, devotion and caring through this journey, together with her husband’s unwavering support, show not only the depth of her love but additionally, how the person affected by Alzheimer’s benefitted from that affection, bringing her father many moments of lucidity and happiness in his last years. You’ll find yourself smiling and laughing as the author shares her experiences with her father and his colleagues. But, be ready to cry at the last chapter as the reality of “Pouf” shows its face.
Great reading for persons going through the same path!

An honest and tender memoir of what life is truly like for family members of Alzheimer patients. You can feel the emotion, pain, and sadness echo off every page. A worthwhile read for anyone in the care process, and for those trying to understand.
I must say that was a brilliant ending chapter . . .
