Customer Reviews

Great book from a survivor

I am a brain surgery survivor (18 months) and buy almost every book that has something to say on the topic. I must admit tht I am partial to the survivor's' telling his or her own story rather than the well meaning but clueless caretaker telling the survivor's story. The well meaning caretaker is not disabled and doesn't live in the survivors's shoes! That's why I am recommending this book. I thought the poems were a little much and perhaps too sentimental but the message blew me away. I didn't put the book down. I only recently began to read again and this book is a keeper.

TBI family survivor

This book had lots of hope for TBI victims as well as ideas to help them at home. I suggested some of these ideas to my brothers OT and she thought they were great!

A masterpiece, a must read...

I was reluctant to read this book, having been disapointed many times with head-injury survival stories. I picked it up, and I simply couldn't put it down! It was incredible, the way you cry, and laugh, and smile, and even become angry at her actions! I must say this is easily the best book on head-injury I have read. I cannot see how your life could be fulfilled without reading this masterpiece.

A True Inspirational Book For Anyone!

Wow! This is the most enjoyable book I've read in years. It not only teaches, it makes you laugh and then lets you cry. It is a roller coaster of emotions and an unbelievably optimistic journey through the aftermath of brain injury. Bev Bryant's story is an incredible inspiration. I have read it many times over. This book should be featured on Oprah...a true literary achievement!
