註釋"Gentle into the Darkness by Canadian author Patricia Conrad, is the life story of Hendrika Visscher Conrad, including her immigration to Canada from the Netherlands as a young child in 1929, the onset of her deafness after meningitis, and her final heartbreaking decline into Alzheimer's disease. Written from a hearing daughter's perspective, this moving memoir explores the experience of growing up with deaf parents, shares a poignant glimpse into a 'culturally deaf' world, and offers a firsthand account of everyday life in a deaf/hearing household. At the same time, it examines the devastating effects of Alzheimer's on both a patient and her family, and the experience of dealing with the loss of a beloved parent. It is ultimately a story of love, courage, and hope."--
