Lisa Genova has done it again! By turns chilling and deeply moving, LEFT NEGLECTED is a stunning reminder that a single moment can change a life.

—Brunonia Barry, author of the New York Times bestseller THE LACE READER

Lisa Genova is the Michael Crichton of brain science. What she proved with STILL ALICE, she proves again with LEFT NEGLECTED. This is huge, powerful human drama at its elegant best.

—Jacquelyn Mitchard, author of the New York Times bestseller THE DEEP END OF THE OCEAN

The journey Lisa Genova takes us on in LEFT NEGLECTED is a personal one, for any woman who's ever had to make a business call while driving to day care, or who finishes a full day's work at a high-powered job only to start the second shift as a mom: sometimes, we literally need a shock to the system to remember what matters the most in life. Remember how you couldn't put down STILL ALICE? Well, clear your schedule - because you're going to feel the same way.

—Jodi Picoult, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of HOUSE RULES and SING YOU HOME

LEFT NEGLECTED is a novel worth reading for the way it informs a little-known medical condition, as well as the engaging story of a character who transcends what could have been a tragedy to find a fresh appreciation for life.
