Karin W. Ericson
Karin Ericson brings personal stories of her experience of caring for her mother through her journey with Alzheimer's Disease. What Works When Memory Stops Working is combination memoir and self-help, weaving together personal stories from Ericson's childhood, with techniques that helped her mother and family enjoy life despite the disease. Forced dancing lessons and scenes from Ericson's eighth-grade production of "HMS Pinafore" form the basis of stories that are instructive, comical, and poignant and ones that will help others affected by this challenging disease.

Following writing stints with The Essex Reporter and Prime Time Journal in Vermont, Ericson brought her children to live in Zihuatanejo, Mexico during one of New England's worst winters. It was there that her love of writing and storytelling took off. When not writing, Ericson enjoys gardening, traveling, and all activities on Lake Champlain.
