Brenda lives with frontal lobe syndrome after a meningioma and craniotomy at age 48. Matt suffered an anoxic brain injury from a bacterial infection at age 3. Amy suffered a traumatic brain injury after slipping on ice at age 39. LiAne suffered two grand mal seizures and a hemorrhagic stroke at age 50. No matter the cause, brain injuries can change our entire world in a split second. By sharing the tender truth about the powerful ways such injuries impact our lives, the 14 true stories narrating candid reflections about life after a brain injury offer comfort to those who share the path by helping them understand that they aren't alone.
Written from a nonclinical viewpoint, family members will gain better understanding, professionals will appreciate the rich spectrum of journeys, and readers who share the same challenges will find compassion and hope in every story.
