Lisa Genova, author.

This book focuses on a 50 year old Harvard Professor of Psychology Linguinstics. She begins to have some unusual symptoms that lead her to the diagnosis of early onset Alzheimer's disease. It follows her descent into forgetfulness, the loss of her dignity and so on. This is a must read for anyone that may be genetically loaded for this disease or if you are caring for anyone in the middle stages of this dreaded diagnosis.
Although the character is fictional the disease facts and the sequential events as the disease progresses is factual. The book has a most unusual ending.

This is worth the time, money and energy to read. I highly recommend it.
