The Memory Book

The Memory Book

Summary

A wonderful husband, two beautiful children, a job she loves—Claire has it all. And then some.

But lately, her world has started to feel uncertain. Her mother hovers more than a helicopter, her husband seems like a stranger, and her children are like characters in a movie.

More concerning is that Claire is losing her memory.

When she is diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s, Claire begins to fill the pages of a blank book with private memories and keepsakes.

Soon, the book becomes the story of Claire - her passions, her sorrows, her joys, and her adventures in a life that refuses to disappear.
