Alison has made finding a cure for Alzheimer's her goal ever since her father's life was claimed by the diseases. Carl Gant might just hold the key to the cure in his rare blood type. Alison must find this mystery man, adding an element of mystery to the tale.

Even if a story is clearly fiction, increasing the believability with actual facts goes a long way toward increasing immersion. The writing was also well done, with conversations that weren't stiff and unrealistic.
