Barry Petersen is a CBS News correspondent. He has reported on wars, natural disasters and royal weddings but his most difficult assignment was writing Jan’s Story—a personal account of his wife’s diagnosis (in her mid-50s) of early-onset Alzheimer’s.
It is a true story. It is a love story. Barry has put into words the daily struggle he had to face, caring for the love of his life and watching her fade away until she didn’t recognize him anymore.
He says: “I couldn’t let this magnificent, vivacious, wonderful woman just get lost in the midst of Alzheimers. I couldn’t let her life end that way. And if there’s a way to honor her, then I deeply hope this is it."
