Her life had changed in literally a blink of the eye.
This book is a collection of her short articles, most of which were originally published on The Huffington Post.
Learn about what it means to have a TBI as you read about her struggles and frustrations, like the days she can't remember how to run the microwave, or how she gets lost driving to familiar places. Understand what it's like to suffer fatigue and exhaustion after doing a simple task that most take for granted.This book is perfect for TBI survivors, their caregivers, friends and loved ones.
It is a great book for survivors to give to their supporters so that they, too, can understand what those with TBI are dealing with on a daily basis.
