A Heart-Warming, Inspirational Message of Finding Hope

This book is very well written. The author expresses her deepest emotions as she relays the story of her journey of recovery from a traumatic brain injury. I cried, laughed, felt as though on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next. I couldn't put the book down. It was a heart-warming experience to read how an individual overcomes tragedy and turns it into an opportunity to reach out and help others. Her faith in God surely carried her through this journey, com- forting and protecting her, even when she was on the edge of giving up. This book is as inspirational as any of the Joni Erickson books I have read. The message is clear...there is always hope.
