Aus dem Klappentext

two stories, the one of her family's emotional odyssey after her mother was diagnosed with Huntington's disease, and the relentless efforts to find the gene and a cure, and the news that she had a 50/50 chance of getting it also. This book comes from her unique position of being both reporter of how scientists sought a cure and someone who could be saved by it.
