Alice Howland, a 50-year-old celebrated Harvard professor of cognitive psychology, is happily married with three grown children when she begins to notice a creeping forgetfulness in her life. As her memory and thinking become increasingly clouded, she receives a devastating diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer's disease. Fiercely independent, Alice struggles to maintain her sense of self and her lifestyle while living in the moment, even as her mind is being stripped away. The novel captures, in remarkable detail, the heartbreaking, inspiring, and terrifying experience of literally losing your mind.
