Produktbeschreibung

What if the cure for Alzheimer's disease was right under our noses? Remembering Apples is a medical thriller about two women who unravel the mystery of Alzheimer's disease to save loved ones. Dr. Elena Banting is a neurosurgery resident juggling career, family, and love. Memories of her grandmother's descent into Alzheimer's disease have re-emerged as her mother begins to show signs of dementia. Preoccupied with her surgical training, she's started to drift apart from her longtime companion and longs for more. One day, she ventures into an eclectic Seattle coffee shop and meets a mysterious older woman who seems to know more about the brain than Elena. Professor Nicole Frankel is a medical school professor dealing with her husband's mid-stage Alzheimer's disease. She recounts how her husband, Joe, spent his research career studying Alzheimer's disease but couldn't entirely solve it. With a heavy heart and uncertainty, Nicole moved Joe into an assisted living facility, hoping some new therapy will emerge that can bring him back to her. Elena and Nicole begin meeting to discuss the unbroken string of failed clinical trials for Alzheimer's disease and start putting the pieces together. They devise a novel therapy to save Joe and others afflicted by the disease, but slaying Alois Alzheimer's dragon won't be easy. Can Elena and Nicole solve the most significant medical mystery of our time and send Alzheimer's disease to the dustbin?
