false 251789 6 When Abigail Thomas's husband, Rich, was hit by a car, his skull was shattered, his brain severely damaged. Subject to rages, terrors, and hallucinations--and with no memory of what he did the hour, the day, the year before--he was sent to live in a nursing facility that specializes in treating traumatic brain injuries. This tragedy is the ground on which Abigail had to build a new life. How she built that life is a story of great courage and change, of moving to a small country town, of a new family composed of three dogs, knitting, and friendship, of facing down guilt and discovering gratitude. It is also about her relationship with Rich, a man who lived in the eternal present, and the eerie poetry of his often uncanny perceptions. Hailed by Stephen King as "the best memoir I have ever read," this wise, plainspoken, beautiful book enacts the truth Abigail has discovered since the accident: You might not find meaning in disaster, but you might, with effort, make something useful of it. 243986 2006 A Three Dog Life total:1358|5:280|4:488|3:424|2:138|1:28| 1358 4928 2065 402 4 4 true false Sun Feb 17 09:03:34 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 17 12:17:44 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 2 false false Fri Nov 07 12:37:29 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 28 11:49:58 -0800 2008 more...]]> 2 1 false false Thu Jun 26 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 20 11:13:26 -0700 2008 Thu Jun 26 12:07:28 -0700 2008 After Abby's husband suffers severe brain damage after being hit by a car while chasing after one of their dogs, the relationship that the couple shares is transformed.
