This is the story of two courageous people, Julie and Ken Sobol. Julie and Ken were writing partners as well as life partners, so it was natural that when Ken became caught up in the frightening and fatal fog of Lewy Body Disease, they decided to write about their experience with the disease together. This is the story not just of a devastating illness, but of an amazing relationship. As KenÕs disease progresses and his symptoms worsen, his voice on the page dwindles. Julie continues the narration, sharing her sadness, frustration, and attempts to find the best care for her husband. Their chronicling of the ravages wrought by LBD is intelligent, insightful, enlightening, and often funny. It isÑat heartÑa love story.
