    <![CDATA[&quot;Powerful, insightful, tragic, inspirational.and all too true.&quot;  Alireza Atri, Massachusetts General Hospital Neurologist.  &quot;Readers are artfully and realistically led through a window into what to expect, highlighting the importance of allowing the person with the disease to remain a vibrant and contributing member of the community.&quot; Peter Reed, PhD, Director of Programs, National Alzheimer's Association.  &quot;With grace and compassion, Lisa Genova writes about the enormous white emptiness created by Alzheimer's in the mind of the still-too-young and active Alice. A kind of ominous suspense attends her gathering forgetfulness, and Genova puts us, sympathetically, right inside her plight. Somehow, too, she portrays the family's response as a loving one, and hints at the other hopeful, helpful response that science will eventually provide.&quot;  Mopsy Kennedy, <em>Improper Bostonian</em>   &quot;An intensely intimate portrait of Alzheimer's seasoned with highly accurate and useful information about this insidious and devastating disease.&quot; Dr. Rudolph E. Tanzi, co-author, <em>Decoding Darkness: The Search for the Genetic Causes of Alzheimer's Disease</em>  &quot;Her (Alice's) thought patterns are so eerily like my own...amazing.  It was like being in my own head and like being in hers.&quot;  James Smith, diagnosed with Alzheimer's, age 45  &quot;...something for the world to read.&quot;  Jeanne Lee, author of <em>Just Love Me: My Life Turned Upside-Down By Alzheimer's</em>  &quot;A laser-precise light into the lives of people with dementia and the people who love them.&quot;  Carole Mulliken, Co-Founder of DementiaUSA.  &quot;A work of pure genius. This is the book that I and many of my colleagues have anxiously awaited.  The reader will journey down Dementia Road in a way that only those of us with Dementia have experienced. Until now.&quot; Charley Schneider, author of <em>Don't Bury Me, It Ain't Over Yet</em>]]>
