Books
Her first book, Another Name for Madness (1985), is a memoir that describes Alzheimer's effects on her mother (Allene Zillmann Roach) and the family problems that arose because of it. A reviewer for The Baltimore Sun described the book as "simply the best evocation of an insidious illness I have ever read." The book has been published in Canada, England, France, Japan, and the United States. Roach wrote The Roots of Desire: The Myth, Meaning, and Sexual Power of Red Hair (2005), a non-fiction piece about the history and oddities of red heads and their reactions from society. She is also the coauthor of Dead Reckoning: The New Science of Catching Killers with physician Michael Baden (2001), and the author of The Memoir Project: A Thoroughly Non-Standardized Text for Writing & Life (2011).
