Alzheimer's disease is a cruel and unforgiving thief. It steals memories, personality, and eventually, life itself. For families who watch their loved ones disappear into the fog of Alzheimer's, the journey can be heartbreaking and isolating.

In Mind Thief, author Lisa Genova tells the story of her family's experience with Alzheimer's. Her father, a brilliant scientist and loving husband, was diagnosed with the disease at the age of 56. Over the next 10 years, Lisa watched as her father's mind and body slowly declined. She witnessed the frustration, the confusion, and the fear that Alzheimer's brings.

But Mind Thief is more than just a story of loss. It is also a story of love, hope, and resilience. Lisa and her family refused to let Alzheimer's define their lives. They found ways to connect with her father, even as his memory faded. They celebrated his life, and they supported each other through the difficult times.

Mind Thief is a powerful and moving account of one family's journey through Alzheimer's disease. It is a must-read for anyone who has been touched by this devastating illness. Lisa Genova's writing is honest, compassionate, and ultimately hopeful. She shows us that even in the face of darkness, there is always light.
