Description

Charlotte Raven's memoir is a searingly honest and important account of her journey with Huntington's Disease. In her mid-thirties, she discovered that her father was suffering from the illness, which would change her life forever.

The book is a frank and fearless exploration of coming to terms with this inherited neurodegenerative disease and its impact on her body, mind and memory. It is both an act of self-preservation and a reckoning with the person she once was and the person she is now.

With humour and courage, Raven writes about her experiences, while in an afterword, her doctor Ed Wild provides insight into how doctors and patients are working together to combat this disease. A thought-provoking read for anyone interested in medical science and personal memoirs.
