Deborah P. Hall’s book,C-Sharp Minor: My Mother’s Seventeen-Year Journey through Dementia ($17.99, paperback, 9781545644072; $8.99, e-book, 9781545644089) is available for purchase.

C-Sharp Minor: My Mother’s Seventeen-Year Journey through Dementia recounts all phases of one woman's dementia from initial subtle symptoms through death, yet still tries to honor as well the "diamonds," or the bright moments glittering amidst the coal. C-Sharp Minor offers hope for caregivers that we are not alone on the journey while trying to prepare people honestly for the dark days that will occur. Ultimately, it reminds us this disease is not the end.

“This book celebrates a life, not just a decline,” said Hall, who is passionate about the topic of dementia. “5.7 million people today have Alzheimer's. Hardly anyone doesn't know someone, either among friends or family, touched by the disease.” Hall is donating 5% of all proceeds she receives to the Alzheimer's Association.

Deborah P. Hall was raised first in Georgia, then in southwest Missouri. She won the Gannett Foundation scholarship from the Springfield News-Leader in 1987 and went on to Carleton College in Northfield, MN where she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Magna Cum Laude. Hall has also written A Goodly Heritage, commissioned by First Baptist Church, Springfield, MO, in honor of their 150th anniversary.
