ALZHEIMER'S IS A DEATH IN SLOW MOTION. For close to ten years, writer Greg O'Brien, diagnosed with Early-Onset Alzheimer's, has chronicled its progression as an embedded reporter inside the mind of this monster of a disease that is akin to having a sliver of your brain shaved off every day.
Taking detailed notes and working off cognitive reserve, O'Brien offers an illuminating blueprint of strategies, faith, and humor needed to fight this disease, a day-to-day focus on living with Alzheimer's, not dying with it-a hope that all is not lost when it appears to be.
