From award-winning, New York Times bestselling author and neuroscientist Lisa Genova comes a powerful new novel that does for Huntingtons Disease what her debut Still Alice did for Alzheimers. Joe OBrien is a forty-four-year-old police officer from the Irish Catholic neighborhood of Charlestown, Massachusetts. A devoted husband, proud father of four children in their twenties, and respected officer, Joe begins experiencing bouts of disorganized thinking, uncharacteristic temper outbursts, and strange, involuntary movements. He initially attributes these episodes to the stress of his job, but as these symptoms worsen, he agrees to see a neurologist and is handed a diagnosis that will change his and his familys lives forever Huntingtons Disease. Huntingtons is a lethal neurodegenerative disease with no treatment and no cure.
