Book Description:
Dr. Lloyd Copeland is a young neurologist who is tormented by the
conviction that he has inherited the severe, early-onset dementia that has
plagued his family for generations – the very disease which spurred his
father to take his own life when Lloyd was just a child. Withdrawn to a
life of emotional detachment, he looks for solace in hollow sexual trysts
as a way to escape his throbbing loneliness. Still, he clings to the hope
that the highly controversial treatment for memory loss he’s been researching will free him from his family’s
curse.
But when odd mishaps take place in his laboratory, his research is blocked by a hospital review board headed
by Erin Kennedy: a beautiful medical ethicist with a link to his troubled childhood. The fight to salvage his
reputation and recover the hope for his own cure brings him face to face with sordid secrets that rock his very
self-identity. And to make matters worse, he finds himself falling irretrievably in love with the very woman
who seems intent on thwarting his efforts.
