""The Powder Effect"" is a poignant and humor-filled memoir chronicling 'Timmy' Porter's journey as a caregiver for his father, who suffered from Lewy Body Dementia (LBD). Through personal anecdotes, family history, and moments of humor and heartbreak, Porter provides a vivid and honest portrayal of living with the challenges of dementia. From surreal hallucinations to the relentless impacts of caregiving, the narrative is a tribute to resilience, family bonds, and the enduring spark of humanity even in the face of decline.
