Author: Lisa Genova

I have always loved this author and her stories; this one is no exception. The author has a Ph.D. in neuroscience and her books deal with medical issues.

The subject of this book is Huntington’s Disease and she tells the story from the point of view of someone struggling with the disease, children finding out they have the disease but are symptom-free, and children who are reluctant to take the test to determine whether or not they have the inherited gene.
