This touching memoir provides heartfelt, humorous and invaluable guidance to help caregivers better survive and provide the best care possible for their loved ones.

Join author and former Wisconsin Governor Martin J. Schreiber for a discussion of his book My Two Elaines: Learning, Coping, and Surviving as an Alzheimer’s Caregiver.  Former Governor Schreiber is a dedicated advocate for Alzheimer's caregivers and individuals with dementia. Sharing his experiences nationwide, Marty brings humor and compassion to his talks, drawing from his journey as a caregiver for his late wife, Elaine, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2007. Thousands have been moved and inspired by Marty's book, making it a must-share resource with friends and families navigating the Alzheimer's journey.
