I am KEVIN! not Lewy
by Kevin Quaid (Author)
4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (13)
Kevin Quaid author of Lewy Body Dementia Survival and Me, has put pen to paper again to tell you that there is a life after diagnosis and especially if like Kevin you have been diagnosed at an early age and have a lot of living still to do.
This book is designed to give hope to people, not only people who have Lewy Body Dementia but for those who have been diagnosed with any type of dementia, indeed it’s for people who have been diagnosed with any terrible illness.
It’s a book of hope to show that when you get a diagnosis, even though it is tough, you can still have a pretty good life despite the diagnosis. Kevin found a love of writing and this book is full of things that he has achieved since his diagnosis and the power of being positive and of having goals. This book is again very real and pulls no punches as Kevin tells it like it is for him and his family.
