My Two Elaines

One part love story, one part practical advice, My Two Elaines informs the reader on how to learn, cope and survive as an Alzheimer’s caregiver.  In this book, author and former Governor of Wisconsin, Martin Schreiber watches his beloved wife, Elaine, transform from the woman he fell in love with to the Elaine who no longer recognizes Marty or their children. 

My Two Elaines includes several unique features:

•  Excerpts from Elaine’s journal, recounting her thoughts, concerns, and frustrations as the disease progresses 
• Helpful takeaways for caregivers based on Martin’s observations of the disease progression
• A Q&A between Martin and neuropsychologist Dr. Michelle Braun, to equip caregivers and empower them to advocate for their loved ones and their own needs
