Still Alice

A moving and insightful story about a woman diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease, now a major motion picture starring Academy Award nominee Julianne Moore and Kristen Stewart. Still Alice is among the best books every woman should read in their 40s.

Alice Howland is pleased with the life she has created. She is a cognitive psychology professor at Harvard and a renowned linguist at the age of fifty, with a successful husband and three grown children. When she begins to become forgetful and disoriented, she dismisses it for as long as she can until a tragic diagnosis permanently alters her life - and her relationship with her family and the world around her.

Alice, unable to care for herself, struggles to find meaning and purpose as her sense of self fades. But Alice is a remarkable woman, and her family learns more about her and about themselves in their quest to keep the Alice they know. She is living in the moment, living for each day, her memory hanging by a frayed thread. But she remains Alice.
