Following in the tradition of ESCOTA’s December book club, Uptown Interagency Council hosted an intimate gathering before the holidays to share thoughts on On Vanishing: Mortality, Dementia, and What It Means to Disappear by Lynn Casteel Harper, UIC board member. A personal, philosophical examination of dementia, On Vanishing explores the power and possibilities of reframing dementia in hopeful, humanizing terms. The book can be purchased through Bookshop, Amazon, Barnes&Noble, or your local bookstore.
