Helpful Score: 2

I have never written a review here before but felt compelled after reading this book. My mother is 77 years old and has had Alzheimer's for about 3 years. While she did not have early-onset like the main character, Alice, I felt like I was reading about my mother's life in this book. Many of the things that happened to Alice also happened to my mother and our family. It was very true to life and is heartbreaking and terrifying to read about Alice's continued decline throughout the book. I did learn a lot, however, and will pass this book along to my brothers. I was a bit afraid to read this book because of my situation, but I'm glad I did. Everyone should read this to gain a better understanding of this terrible disease and those who suffer from it.
