Editorial Reviews for The Glory Walk: A Memoir By a daughter whose father died of Alzheimer's disease, this memoir uses conversations, poems, letters, and creative imaginings and effectively echoes the unpredictable progression of the disease.
Consumer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Eases the Pain Comment: This book is an amazing gift that Cathryn Smith has given to her family as well as her readers. The Glory Walk takes us through an incredibly difficult time in our family with grace and clarity and shows us the different dimensions of this horrible disease by actually writing from the view of Alzheimers. About every couple months, when I feel the need to be closer to my father, I will re-read The Glory Walk and work through a little more of the loss and the pain I feel of my father's death. For any child that has lost a parent, especially to Alzheimers, The Glory Walk is a great comfort. Customer Rating: Summary: The Glory Walk.... Comment: I found this memoir to be very helpful as I deal with this disease process in a close family member and a friend. The writing style allowed me to gain perspective from the point of the patient and to gain insight into the feelings that I have associated with the person's decline. This book has given me the freedom to feel my feelings in association with the disease process and not feel guilty. Customer Rating: Summary: a rich, experimental way of capturing the mind of a father with Alzheimer and a family living with it Comment: The author's poignant and powerful use of experimental prose and poetry invite her reader into her world, a world of grief, torment, and wonder, as she and her family watch and participate in losing her father to Alzheimer's. The reality of the angst and the realization of the utter helplessness are conveyed so beautifully through memory, narrative, letter writing, and music. What makes the writing so powerful, so convincing, though, is that it is often as fragmented as the mind of the Alzheimer patient. We, as readers, become one with the patient, as well as the family. Customer Rating: Summary: Takes you on a journey Comment: I use this book, The Glory Walk, in my Creative Non-Fiction class as an example of how a talented writer can take the horrific facts of her father's decline and death from Alzheimers and create a true, beautiful, painful portrait of the journey of grief. She captures brilliantly the trauma and sometimes joy, of the journey, showing the reader how circling a truth, grief in this case, is sometimes the only way to get back home. Customer Rating: Summary: A Glorious Walk Comment: The Glory Walk is a glorious walk through the life of man in the eyes of a daughter. Rememberances of a life lived that every reader can relate to. Reading this book will make you want to call your dad and tell him you love him. If you can't call him you will think of him with love and wish he was with you.
