HOW NOT TO STAY SINGLE...
When Your Husband Has
Alzheimer's and Two Girlfriends
No one wants another Alzheimer's story.
They're heartbreaking, predictable and depressing. Filled with pain and very little laughter.
This isn't that book.
When Nita Tucker's husband of more than 40 years developed Alzheimer's, she didn't expect girlfriends. Dating apps. Viagra.Or the realization that surviving the disease meant learning how to live (and date) again.
With sharp wit, brutal honesty, and surprising tenderness, How Not to Stay Single When... Your Husband Has Alzheimer's and Two Girlfriends turns the traditional Alzheimer's narrative on its head.
It's a story about love, loss, resilience, permission, and the unexpected ways we find joy in the middle of heartbreak.

It Happened in Florence
"I live here! This is my life!"
Nita Tucker's four years in Florence are a lesson about how staying true to your dreams is really the only option. As editor-in-chief of The Florentine, Nita's days in Florence were packed with interviewing politicians, princesses, designers, and celebrities, as well as accepting once-in-a-lifetime invitations to events such as a wild boar hunt on the Ferragamo country estate and a private viewing of the Sistine Chapel.
In between, Nita laughed and cried with her girlfriends over family, fashion, cultural differences and making a difference in their beloved Florence. With the many highs came a few inevitable lows, including Nita's realization that it was her dream to live in Europe and not her husband's or daughter's.
It Happened in Florence is a story about living a life with no regrets, celebrating the discovery that those who love you most will love you all the more for living a life without compromise.
