Still Alice opens Goodreads in a new tab

Alice Howland is happily married with three grown children and a house on the Cape. A celebrated Harvard professor at the height of her career, she notices forgetfulness creeping into her life. As confusion clouds her thinking and her memory fails, she receives a devastating diagnosis of early onset Alzheimer's disease. Fiercely independent, Alice struggles to maintain her lifestyle and live in the moment, even as her sense of self is stripped away.
