In the prime of her life and career, Sarah Gleeson hit pause on everything to walk beside her father through seven years of Alzheimer’s disease.

This deeply honest book shares what no medical guide could prepare her for: watching the father she loved come apart piece by piece, the guilt of resenting the life she had put on hold, and the surprising moments of laughter and closeness that came even after he no longer knew she was his daughter.

But this is not only a story about love and loss.

It is about what happens after.

When her father died, grief and shame took over, and Sarah withdrew from the people who needed her most.

Inside Alzheimer’s follows her journey through the hardest work of all: facing the pain instead of hiding from it, learning to forgive herself for not being perfect, and discovering that joy and sorrow can live side by side.

This book shares an important truth for anyone who has been broken by something they couldn’t change.

Healing isn’t about moving on or forgetting.

It’s about carrying what you’ve lost with you, reclaiming your life, and rising not as who you once were, but as someone who knows you can survive the hardest things life brings.
