Alice Howland is a fifty year old Harvard Linguistics professor with a successful husband and three adult children. Alice discovers she has early onset Alzheimer’s disease and she begins to lose control of her life. As she struggles with words and memories she feels she is losing the respect of her family and peers. She questions what is really important to her as she learns to accept the inevitable loss of herself. Without language and memory is she still Alice?
This is an engrossing story that is tragically real and makes you worry about everything you have to lose if you lose your mind.
