 What happens when a visit to the doctor turns into more than a routine appontment. Alice, suspects that she is starting to exhibit the signs of menopause. After all, she is a Harvard professor with three grown children and in her fifties. It only seems logical, right" What she discovers instead is that she is in the beginning stages of Alzheimer's.

A rare book entirely from an Alzheimer patients point of view, it will take the reader on a roller-coaster ride of emotion even before you have finished the last page.

 Eye-opening story about the incredible struggle dealing with Alzheimer's disease - for not only the care-givers but the patients as well. This character will stay with me for awhile, I'm sure.

 Sadly very accurate, hit a little too close to home for me. If you want to learn about Early Onset Alzheimer's this is a good glance, the Alzheimer's Association assisted the author to make it as accurate account as possible.
