SUMMARY:Dale Ruth Sherburne Author Talk
DESCRIPTION:Dale Ruth Sherburne Author Talk \nThursday\, June 25\, 6:30 pm \nCaregiver advocate\, author\, and speaker\, Dale Ruth Sherburne will talk about her book\, Neither Wife nor Widow\, at Norway Memorial Library on Thursday\, June 25\, 2026\, at 6:30 pm. She brings a lived-experience perspective shaped by more than twenty years spent caring for her husband following his early-onset dementia diagnosis. \nThe book is a collection of personal stories that explore the emotional realities of caregiving for a loved one with dementia. Through dozens of conversational vignettes\, the author bares her feelings with raw\, unapologetic honesty. Stories range from humorous to touching to wrenching and shed previously unseen light on a caregiver’s mind. The caregiver’s heart will lighten knowing that “caregiver-land” has no room for judgment or guilt. \nSherburne’s work has been favorably reviewed\, including a book review in the Journal of Applied Gerontology (February 2026) and a Kirkus Book Review (December 2025). She is committed to improving caregiver health and quality of life\, and has a special interest in ensuring support availability for low-income caregivers and those in rural areas with limited access to services. \nSherburne is a Maine native who raised two daughters with her husband\, Russ\, in an 1850s farmhouse with a menagerie of beloved pets. Her degree in child psychology led to directing special education services for preschool children with disabilities. Nature and animals are her passions\, along with books\, crafts\, practical jokes\, spending time “upta camp\,” and finding joy among friends and family. \nThis program is free to attend and open to the public. Norway Memorial Library is located at 258 Main Street\, Norway\, Maine. Please call 743-5309 ext. 1\, stop by the Information Desk\, or e-mail norcat@norwaymemoriallibrary.org with questions.
