Quick read about a family who unknowingly have Huntington's disease. Joe was always told his mother drank herself to death but when he is diagnosed with HD he thinks back and realizes this is not true. Now his family must cope not only with his illness, which has physical and mental aspects, but each of the four adult children have a 50-50 chance of developing it and have the option of genetic testing to know for sure. A lot of readers were upset that Katie's genetic results are not revealed, however I thought that was ok. It think it showed that she had finally learned that she would not live her life too differently no matter the results. We all know our lives will end, people who know they will develop HD just know more details.
