At fifty, Laura is diagnosed with Alzheimer. Since that fateful day, in desperation, she prepares herself for that moment when she will no longer be able to assume the responsibility of managing her own life. Laura leaves her daughter, Ana, with special instructions which will allow the two women to communicate even after the disease has advanced. With From a Branch: Alzheimer, the author sets out to demonstrate her firm belief that, while Reason may become clouded, our feelings live on, complete, inviolate.
