Daily Record/Sunday News librarian Joan McInnis reviews "Still Alice" by Lisa Genova:
Alice Howland was at the top of her game. At 50 she had achieved her life's goals -- tenure as a professor of cognitive psychology at Harvard and much sought after as a lecturer. She was married
to a fellow Harvard professor and renowned researcher, and she had managed to
juggle her demanding work schedule with her roles as a loving wife and mother.
Her grown children were pursuing good careers, and her married daughter was hoping to make her a grandmother. Life was good until the day she suddenly experienced
confusion while on her daily run and had difficulty finding her way back home. Other
troubling memory lapses occurred, forcing her to seek a medical explanation. After intensive testing her doctor informed her that she was suffering from early onset Alzheimer's.
