Product Description
by Valerie Blumenthal (Author)
I was told by my doctor that I was suffering from stress; but I knew otherwise.
This is my story of what it feels like to have a rare form of Alzheimer's. In order to recount it, I have used voice recognition software.
As little by little I am deprived of my faculties, I am rendered completely illiterate. It is a cruel trick to play on a novelist.
I hope that this book will resonate with all who might read it.
