Still Holding Hands, Josie Collection

A faith-filled novel of love, caregiving, and grace — inspired by a true story. Josie believes the hardest chapters are behind her when she meets Jay. Their marriage is built on faith, laughter, and a quiet promise to keep holding hands through every season — easy and unbearable alike. Then Jay begins to change. A diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia rewrites their future, and Josie must learn to love a man who is slowly slipping away — while holding on to the woman she is becoming, and the God who meets her in the valley.

From 2006 to 2015, Lorrie Cox walked one of the hardest roads a spouse can travel—watching her husband John slowly disappear to frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a devastating brain disease that strikes people in the prime of life, often in their 40s, 50s, and 60s. Unlike Alzheimer's, FTD changes personality, behavior, and language first. Most families don't see it coming—and most don't know where to turn. When John was diagnosed, everything changed—their marriage, their family, their faith, and the shape of everyday life.
