A Silent Tsunami: Swimming Against the Tide of my Mother's Dementia

Combining personal and professional experience, A Silent Tsunami is a moving exploration of the development of Dementia and its impacts on a mother-daughter relationship. 'By turns, warm, reflective, angry, but always moving...the perfect balance between scientific context and the mother-daughter narrative' Professor Craig Ritchie, University of St Andrews Anthea Rowan writes about her mother’s struggles of living with Depression and Dementia, while interpreting our understandings of this life-changing illness. Grounded in observations, A Silent Tsunami aims to prepare others for what to expect when this tide changes by recounting the lessons learned from experiences and challenges. Focusing on our relationship with our mothers and their influences on us, as well as the questions we ask ourselves about how mental illnesses and Dementia impact our lives, A Silent Tsunami is a powerful examination of family, life, love and loss.
