Still Alice

At a friend's recommendation, I just read Still Alice by Lisa Genova (2007).  It is the story of a middle age woman's early-onset Alzheimer's Disease, told from the patient's point of view.  It is an absorbing story that is easy to read.  It could easily be read on a flight.  It is so powerful it is a bit disorienting.   

Although the book realistically tells of the heartbreaking human side of Alzheimer's Disease, it also left me with a message about value, dignity, priorities, and change.
