Lisa Marshall has found joy where none was thought to exist. Most people aren't this honest to their own diary. Lisa Marshall is an open book—a book you won't want to put down.

In Oh Hello Alzheimer's, author Lisa Marshall takes us on a journey of diagnosis with her beloved husband, Peter. Starting with the heart of their romance, to the early unsettling signs something is amiss, to the devastating diagnosis, and into the life beyond the moment everything changes.
This book is everything a caregiver for a loved one with Alzheimer's needs. There is much to be said about the practical advice that Lisa offers: navigating the tangled world of American healthcare systems, finding tricks and strategies to support the patient at home, moving through to higher levels of care, and much more.
These things are invaluable. But what really shines through and captivates the reader is Lisa’s love for Peter, her skillful storytelling, and her passion for making his life all it could be, then sharing that with others
“Lisa's poignant and unfiltered perspective of life as a caregiver is thoughtful and informative, while being a devastating front row view to the realities of Alzheimer's and the ripple effect on families. Her unwavering love and respect for Peter is tangible throughout their beautiful story.”
Kait Hanson, TODAY.com reporter
“Lisa opened up a world that no one wants to know about, let alone live in. Their story shined an authentic light on all the crevices of this devastating disease. Lisa's example gives me hope each and every day as I navigate my own caregiving path. I am eternally grateful to have witnessed her strength, compassion and commitment to Peter, with amazing love, patience, and respect. This is real life for too many of us.”
KaiHeidi Kroft, Caregiver
“"Lisa's journey as a caregiver for her beloved Peter as he struggles with younger-onset Alzheimer's is one in which many people will be able to relate. Her brave storytelling sheds light on the tremendous need for increased awareness and support for the more than 1 million Alzheimer's and dementia caregivers across the country. This book is a testament to their dedication, generosity and strength in the battle against this devastating disease.”
