Alice Howland, happily married with 3 grown children, is a celebrated Harvard professor 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. Fiercely independent, Alice struggles to maintain her lifestyle and live in the moment, even as her sense of self slips. In turns heartbreaking and inspiring, "Still Alice" captures in remarkable detail what's it's like to live with Alzheimer's.

I am not a big lover of reading; when I was in school or in general, but I knew I had to read this as I work with those with a range of different dementias. I could not put this book down and read it in about 3 days; a true miracle.
