If you want a personal view into the life of someone with Alzheimer's Disease, Lisa Genova provides that in an intimate and often times painful story of Alice, a Harvard Psychology Professor who is diagnosed with Early-onset Alzheimer's at the age of 50.
I strongly recommend this book to everyone, because at some point in our lives, we will all know someone with Alzheimer's Disease. It gives a stark reminder of the humanity of the individual while touching on care issues facing families as the afflicted loses their autonomy.
A MUST READ!
