Acclaimed Author Greg O'Brien to Visit Needham in March

O'Brien, who wrote the book "On Pluto: Inside the Mind of Alzheimer's," was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease in 2009.

Award-winning journalist and Cape Cod-based author, Greg O’Brien, is presenting next week at The Residences during a high tea event.

O’Brien’s acclaimed book, “On Pluto: Inside the Mind of Alzheimer’s” chronicles his experience with an early-onset diagnosis of the disease. Greg and his family are also the subject of a new book out on April 7 called “Meet the O’Briens” by Lisa Genova, who wrote the 2007 novel “Still Alice,” which was recently made into an Academy Award-nominated film starring Julianne Moore.

The event, entitled Afternoon Tea for Alzheimer’s, will be on Wednesday, March 25 from 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m.
