All in the Mind


All in the Mind
Jenny Twist
Tilly wakes up in the dark, alone. She is in a strange room furnished in 1940s style. However did she get here? Has she slipped into the past? Has she been kidnapped?

Tilly is in an experiment working on a cure for Alzheimer's disease. It is working but there is a strange side effect.

Tilly and her fellow experimental subjects appear to be getting younger.

Can the same experiment be repeated for Tilly's beloved husband so that he can recover from a stroke? Tilly thinks it can and she will move heaven and earth to make sure it happens.

    Isn't Mickie's blog wonderful? It always lifts my spirits when I visit.
    This is such an evocative cover, Jenny and perfect for this wonderful story, which everyone will love. I know I did - and I still think about it often. Your writing has that very special, unforgettable quality about it.

      Isn't it a lovely blog! I'm so pleased to be here. Thank you for your kind words. I'm particularly glad you like the cover. It's rather special to me. The beautiful hands were painted by my dear friend, Caroline. They belong to her mother, Ann, to whom the book is dedicated. The photograph is of my own mother, who was a nurse at the end of the Second World War.

      Hi there, MJ. Years ago I read about an experiment in an old people's home where they subjected them to films and newspapers dating from their youth. I can't remember what they were trying to achieve, but an interesting side effect was that the subjects' hair darkened. I've wondered about that ever since ...

      Hi Roxy. Pleased to meet you. You've made my day. It's so hard to write a blurb that makes people want to read the book. I'm so glad you like it.

    Very interesting blurb, Jenny. And I loved the story behind the cover. Sometimes these stories behind the stories are a wonderful story in themselves. I wish you success with this book. And I agree with other comments, this is a lovely site.

    Whatever that pill is, I want it. Wouldn't it be wonderful to get younger? I might not even mind traveling back in time to my youth. I don't know that I would ever want to have Alzheimers or a stroke. All in the Mind sounds like a very intriguing story.
    all the best to you...

    It's not a pill and they don't exactly travel back in time. They just get younger. My mother used to say she'd love to be young again if only she could know what she knows now. This is how I imagine it would be.
    All the best to you too, Sarah.
    Love
    Jenny
