Synopsis
"By the time I was 21-years-old, everything about me--my soul, if you will--had changed not once, but twice."
In an instant, her world changed forever. While on active duty in the U.S. Army, Lori Williams-just your average American young woman-sustained a severe traumatic brain injury in an automobile accident. For the next 22 years, what would occur is a transformation. In her memoir, the author discusses the ways-cognitive, physical, emotional, and spiritual-in which she was affected by a brain injury, discussing the ramifications of this incomprehensible tragedy, and bringing us through her process of transformation.
"Portrays her journey of hope, renewal, and redemption with courage and vulnerability."
- Ellen Lord, MA, RN, CACII
