This was an amazing feat by this author: getting inside the head of someone diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease and letting us look out through her eyes. I was fascinated, terrified, and inspired by this story. The book cuts through all the scientific medical jargon (although it is included in a way that was not beyond comprehension), to reveal the insidious, selective nature of this disease, randomly deleting some thoughts/memories yet retaining others with maddening (no pun intended) effects. That it happened to someone so relatively young and in the prime of her life and career is doubly tragic. Seeing the personal toll on the patient as well as her family and career, it was heartbreaking. I highly recommend it to anyone who knows someone with AD, or really anyone who wants a better understanding of living with this diagnosis. It will give you insight as well as compassion.
