A moving story of a woman with early onset Alzheimer's disease, now a major Academy Award-winning film starring Julianne Moore and Kristen Stewart. Alice Howland is proud of the life she worked so hard to build. At fifty, she's a cognitive psychology professor at Harvard and a renowned expert in linguistics, with a successful husband and three grown children. When she begins to grow forgetful and disoriented, she dismisses it for as long as she can until a tragic diagnosis changes her life - and her relationship with her family and the world around her - for ever. Unable to care for herself, Alice struggles to find meaning and purpose as her concept of self gradually slips away. But Alice is a remarkable woman, and her family learn more about her and each other in their quest to hold on to the Alice they know. Her memory hanging by a frayed thread, she is living in the moment, living for each day. But she is still Alice.

"Marcia and I were married September 30, 1994, and were together nineteen years and four days when she passed away October 2013. She was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's in 2000, when she was only forty-nine years of age. I was Marcia's 24-7 caregiver from 2007 until her passing. This was the second marriage for us both, and we were a textbook example of how a happy life together should be. We lived in a small community on Lake Oliver, directly across the lake from Columbus, Georgia. I am retired and am writing this book based on the personal experience of having watched the thirteen years of progression of Alzheimer's disease and how it changed a beautiful, vibrant lady to the shell of what she once was when she passed from this earth. Having to watch someone you love dearly die a day at a time, with the only thing that can be done is keeping them comfortable, is a very excruciating experience, and hopefully, reading our journey through this progression will help others who have a loved one with this disease understand what the future holds for them and their loved one"--Page 4 of cover.
