This is the first book by this author that I have read and I will add her to my list of author's to read! I felt connected to Alice from the beginning and my heart broke for her, watching her mind deteriorate and watching her realize that it was happening. I was intrigued watching her progress through this and saddened by the fact that she was. The reaction by some of her family members made me angry at times. This book depicted the disease in such a way that made it real, personal, and understood. I would most definitely recommend this book.

(Fortunately I have never had a loved one afflicted with Alzheimer's disease so I have no life-stories to compare to this book. I loaned it to a friend who experienced this first hand and her reaction to the book was that it was right on the mark.)
