Hi this is Betsy from Ottos.   Lisa Genova wrote Still Alice, a heartbreaking novel about a woman slowly losing her mind to Alzheimer’s.  And her new book, Left Neglected, is just as moving.  It’s about a super multi-tasking woman with a demanding executive position, a husband and three children.  On her way to work, as she is searching for a client’s number on her cell phone, she suddenly notices all the traffic in front of her has stopped and she tries to stop—too late.  Four months later, she still hasn’t made it to her office.  She has a neurological syndrome known as “Left Neglect” following her traumatic brain injury.  Her brain refuses to recognize anything on the left—of the page, on the plate, in the room.  Along her path to recovery she deals with her son’s ADHD, her past history of her mother’s total rejection and the resistance of her husband to making huge changes to their lifestyle.  The author holds a PHD in neuroscience from Harvard and has a keen sense of human behavior under pressure.  Left Neglected—you’ll find it at Otto’s, a booklover’s paradise in the heart of Downtown Williamsport.
