Book excerpt: "There are three kinds of memory slips, I tell my students. One, when Memory slips but you find your way back without losing a beat. Two, when you don't find your way back until the downbeat. Three, when you don't find your way back in time and must stop and restart the music. I don't tell them about a fourth possibility , when one memory slips, another intrudes and you don't find your way back for a very long time." -- from Memory Slips Linda Katherine Cutting's memoir of family and music movingly portrays the trauma and recovery of a woman whose childhood was betrayed by those who were supposed to protect her. In exquisite prose she illuminates the inner life of a child for whom the gift of music was the only refuge, a refuge that protected her as long as it could. For when Linda began to remember what her father had done to her and her brothers -- both eventual suicides -- she stopped being able to remember Beethoven's notes. Linda Cutting's writing bears witness to what had occurred. Her stunning "Hers" column, originally printed in the New York Times Sunday Magazine in October 1993, was clipped and carried in wallets and pocketbooks and reprinted around the world. Now, her memoir Memory Slips, will not only reach out and give voice to victims of abuse but also move anyone who cares about the power of writing, the beauty of music and the innocence of children. "In her writing, Linda Cutting displays the same grace, thoughtfulness and talent that she's always brought to her music-making. With courageous candor, Linda has shone light into the darker corners of her own compelling life, and we, the readers, are richer for it." --John Williams, Academy Award-winning composer and conductor laureate, The Boston Pops Orchestra "This is a mesmerizing story about the loss of music and innocence and -- very nearly -- the self; and the subsequent recovery of all those things. It is testimony to the power of Linda Cutting's writing that the same book that tears at your heart can, in the end, make it rise up with gladness." --Elizabeth Berg, author of Talk Before Sleep, Range of Motion and The Pull of the Moon

Isn't forgetfulness a sign that age is creeping up on you? Wait! You're only 40. Memory loss causes us to lose our personality, our enjoyment of life and our social acceptability. Is there anything you can do to stop the slide into forgetfulness, and memory loss? Yes, growing older does not mean that you have to experience memory loss. If you can take care of your brain just like you do to your heart by feeding it with the right food and nutrients, giving it enough rest and giving it proper medical care and without abusing it, there is no reason why your brain cannot serve you well into your twilight years. This book is filled with practical information on how you can keep your memory intact against the ravages of time. This is a must read book if you are interested in preventing age memory loss and other mental functions as well as possible for as long as possible. Act now if you think you are beginning to lose your memory. Preventing mental decline is much easier than reversing it!
