“I’m glad I read this. It was an honest story of a difficult life (two lives) - that began to grow difficult when the author’s husband got a virus that went undiagnosed and thus leading to significant brain damage, that has resulted in a form of amnesia. The book is the story of the author as she traverses this territory trying to figure out what it means to live her life and to be committed to this man who she loves and is married to - through “sickness and in health.” The author stays with him daily for eight years, as he settles into a group home. She helps start and lead an organization that deals with brain damage and amnesia. She takes a break and even divorces Clive. But she returns to him, through a crazy path (like all our crazy paths in this life). It was a fascinating read - not the least because it is a rare look at a life struggling with long time disease/illness. I’m glad I read it.”

“Fascinating story of a man with the most severe case of amnesia imaginable. It's told by his younger wife. Their love is extraordinary and eternal. The story is at once tragic and beautiful with hope thrown in as well. ”
