America is aging. The most recent census reveals that 1 in 6 people in the US is over the age of sixty-five. Long life can have many blessings, but it can also present many risks, a concern at any age. One such risk is the loss of mental abilities. Dementia is real, and the challenges it presents are many. It is predicted that dementia in America is on a trajectory to increase exponentially in the coming decades. On Walden Street is a story about ordinary people who are living in the wake of dementia. Some have been afflicted with a dementing disease, and some are trying to provide care. All are dealing with an uninvited twist in their own life story. But in the midst of the struggle, they find hope. On Walden Street is a story about our shared need for grace, forgiveness, and redemption as we face the messy circumstances of life. The characters on Walden Street learn the value of community, the comfort found in shared suffering, and the incomparable value of applying a spiritual perspective to all of life’s trials.
