Finding the Right Words: A Story of Literature, Grief, and the Brain written with Dr. Bruce Miller, is a memoir about her life as an English professor and daughter whose father suffered from early-onset Alzheimer's. She received a fellowship from the Global Brain Health Institute at UC San Francisco for this project, and she spent a year taking classes on neurology, attending seminars on caregiving, and shadowing physicians, during which time she also studied the memoir genre.
