Still Alice

This boook has been on my TBR list for a while. I actually got it confused with another book about memory loss called "What Alice Forgot". I still haven't read that book, but this book was very interesting.
It is the story of Alice, a very accomplished professional woman, wife and mother of three. Alice teaches linguistics and psychology at Harvard University before she is diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's disease.
The book takes you on a journey for the early days of Alice's diagnosis to the later stages of her disease. It is the heroic story of how one woman atttempts to cope with the loss of her memories. It is heart wrenching and sad, yet also inspiring. It really makes you think about quality of life and puts into perspective all the things that Alzheimer patients and their families deal with every day. A very good read.
