This book is truly inspiring! To read about the things that this woman has achieved in the face of pessimistic doctors and hurdles too extreme to imagine, is nothing short of amazing.

This book was recommended to help me understand the brain damage of a friend. It was helpful and it was an interesting story. She was a little too sweet about the entire situation for me to believe it. There were some great lines in the book though that I took to heart. Overall, worthwhile read.
