PLEASE REMEMBER ME AS I WAS

I was told by my doctor that I was suffering from stress, but I knew otherwise. This is my story of what it feels like to have a rare form of Alzheimer's. In order to recount it, I have used voice recognition software. As little by little I am deprived of my faculties, I am rendered completely illiterate. It is a cruel trick to play on a novelist. I hope that this book will resonate with all who might read it. Reviews of Valerie Blumenthal's previous books.
