This book is about a doctor who had a brain injury which changed her entire life. It is not a fairy-tale story, but it does have a happy ending in some ways. It is a story about accepting and overcoming.

It is an important book for families of persons with head injuries and also for the professionals that work with them. Dr. Osborn has been on both sides, as a doctor and a patient. She showed such determination, strength, and courage.

One thing I like about this book is that constantly it focuses on the positive. I'm sure Ms. Osborn has not always met with understanding, kind people, but this book does not really dwell on that. She does focus on all the people who have helped her on her journey, what they have done for her and what has been helpful and encouraging.

I was fortunate to hear her speak back in 2003 at a medical conference. She is well-spoken and related so well to her audience. It is hard to believe that she has so many daily struggles with things that everyone else takes for granted. I highly recommend this book. Please pass it around!
