About the Book:
Alice Howland, happily married with three grown children and a house on the Cape, is a celebrated Harvard
professor at the height of her career when she notices a forgetfulness creeping into her life. As confusion starts to cloud her thinking and her memory begins to fail her, she
receives a devastating diagnosis: early onset Alzheimer's disease. Fiercely independent, Alice struggles to
maintain her lifestyle and live in the moment, even as her sense of self is being stripped away. In turns heartbreaking, inspiring and terrifying, Still Alice captures in remarkable detail what's it's like to literally lose your mind...
