Författare: Annie Laurie

Annie took early retirement after teaching in primary schools for thirty years. She now works part-time with people living with dementia, their families, and their carers. She came runner-up in a short-story writing competition at her first attempt, which gave her the incentive to write more. She has always loved reading, but now finds she is writing just as much as she is reading. Having worked with people with early-onset dementia, she has found that they have very little available to help them explain their condition to their children. This story will help redress this, as it can provide a way in for parents to share their diagnosis with their children.
