Patricia J. Pelham is a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother whose life was profoundly shaped by her husband Rick’s battle with early-onset Alzheimer’s. For years, Patricia navigated the demanding and heartbreaking role of caregiver, balancing love, faith, and determination while watching the man she loved slowly slip away to the disease.

Writing became both her outlet and her mission. What began as notes jotted in a red notebook and on yellow legal pads transformed into a moving narrative of devotion, resilience, and vulnerability. Patricia never intended to become an author, but her story demanded to be told—not only for herself and her children, but for the countless families who silently endure similar struggles.

Her voice is candid and deeply human, weaving moments of heartbreak with sparks of humor, grace, and gratitude. Through Who’s on First? Alzheimer’s: The Terminal Descent, Patricia gives a voice to caregivers everywhere, offering them companionship and hope.
