What is the true cost of love when the person you married begins to disappear, not all at once, but in small, irreversible increments?

The Currency of What We've Lost is a devastating and beautifully rendered memoir that chronicles a marriage tested by progressive illness, the author's journey through caregiving and grief, and the painful reckoning with what we owe to the people we love versus what we owe ourselves.

When the author's husband Michael, a gifted violinist, begins experiencing unexplained symptoms that eventually lead to a diagnosis of early-onset Parkinson's disease, their carefully constructed life begins to unravel.

For anyone who has loved someone through illness, struggled with the ethics of caregiving, or wondered about the true cost of commitment, this memoir offers a mirror, a companion, and a validation that your complicated feelings are not only normal but necessary.
