About this item

A deft combination of narrative and portraiture that breaks the taboo around dementia, replacing the fear and futility with empathy and nuance.. A graphic designer, a writer, a public servant, a retired PhD, a 29-year-old with early-onset Alzheimer's. These are just some of the 50 million people living with dementia who share their deeply personal stories with Joe Wallace in The Day after Yesterday, a powerful collection of portraits and personal stories that humanizes the millions of people living with the disease. Each story in this poignant volume offers a unique and powerful lesson - not just about how to live with a terminal illness, but how to do so with resilience and dignity.. Dementia is often a taboo subject with limited public awareness or discourse.
