Literary critic Cindy Weinstein reflects upon her father’s experience with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease and writes in conversation with neurologist Dr. Bruce Miller, sharing personal stories and professional expertise in a humorous, yet poignant, shared memoir. Each chapter is a remembrance of how the disease presented itself to Cindy, to which Bruce responds with a neurological explanation, illuminating how words disappear, space becomes incoherent, and behavior takes on strange qualities. Beginning with the shock of diagnosis and ending with the recovery of memories before the diagnosis, Finding the Right Words illuminates how this disease attacks the brain.
