Jean Denton has woven together two careers: nursing and public health and spiritual direction and priesthood in the Episcopal Church. She is the author of Good is the Flesh: Body, Soul, and Christian Faith. She lives near Los Angeles, California.

“With great honesty and sensitivity, Denton questions how it is possible to find God and any meaning in such a draining task, concluding that in the end all that matters is love.”—Rev. Dr. Albert Jewell, Dementia Network Secretary of Christians on Aging

“As a dementia caregiver myself, I testify that I have indeed met myself in Denton’s book; reading her simple, graceful words and reflecting upon her well-chosen questions has led me more deeply into myself and helped me to see more clearly not only where my wife and I are but where our companionship can lead us both.”—Dr. Steve Smith, author of Eastern Light: Awakening to Presence in Zen, Quakerism, and Christianity

“In addition to dementia caregivers, I’d recommend this book to hospital chaplains and healthcare workers as they assist dementia caregivers to find meaning through their difficult journeys.”—The Rev. Dr. M. Lorraine Coufal, MA, MPM, MDiv, spiritual director and retired chaplain

“Jean Denton invites caregivers to walk, explore, and articulate their own feelings. If you are a dementia caregiver, you will find yourself understood and helped here.”—Paul S. Bay, DMin BCC

“Denton’s book is certainly needed!”—Dr. Pauline Boss, author of Loving Someone Who Has Dementia
