Inspired by Dasha Kiperās experience as a caregiver and counselor and informed by a breadth of cognitive and neurological research, Travelers to Unimaginable Lands dispels the myth of the perfect caregiver. In these compassionate, nonjudgmental stories of parents and children, husbands and wives, contending with dementia disorders, Kiper explores the existential dilemmas created by this disease: a man believes his wife is an impostor; a womanās imaginary friendships with famous authors drive a wedge between her and her devoted husband; another womanās childhood trauma emerges to torment her son; a manās sudden, intense Catholic piety provokes his wife.

KiperĀ explains why the caregivers are maddened by these behaviors, mirroring their patientsā irrationality, even though theyāve been told itās the disease at work. By demystifying the neurological obstacles to caregiving, Kiper illuminates the terrible pressure dementia disorders exert on our closest relationships, offering caregivers the perspective they need to be gentler with themselves.
