I'm a Harvard-trained Neuroscientist, a Meisner-trained actress, and a completely untrained writer!

I sold my first novel, STILL ALICE, out of the trunk of my car for 10 months before it sold to Simon & Schuster. They republished it on January 6, 2009, and it debuted at #5 on the New York Times Bestseller List! STILL ALICE has spent over 30 weeks on that list and has been translated into over 20 languages.

My second novel, LEFT NEGLECTED, was published January 4, 2011 and is also a New York Times bestseller.

“Heartbreakingly real. . . . So real, in fact, that it kept me from sleeping for several nights. I couldn’t put it down. . . . Still Alice is a story that must be told.”
--Brunonia Barry, New York Times Bestselling author of The Lace Reader

"After I read Still Alice, I wanted to stand up and tell a train full of strangers, ‘You have to get this book.’”
--Beverly Beckham, The Boston Globe

"A work of pure genius."
--Charley Schneider, author of Don't Bury Me, It Ain't Over Yet

“A masterpiece that will touch lives in ways none of us can even imagine. This book is the best portrayal of the Alzheimer’s journey that I have read, accurately and sensitively describing what a person might think and feel, experience and fear, do and not do.”
—Mark Warner, AlzheImer’s DaIly News
