About the guest

Sarah Jones

Sarah Jones is the Author of the book “Dementia, Who are you and what have you done with my mother?”

Her mother, Jeannie Somerville, was diagnosed with dementia in 2014.

It was this diagnosis, coupled with the lack of resources and reading material available for those undergoing similar experiences with loved ones, that prompted Sarah to put pen to paper and write about her own journey with her mother’s dementia, in the hope that it would help others.
