My New Brain: Memoir of a Brain Injury - An Unexpected Change

by Lori Williams

"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."

One of several memoirs I'm reading to help me prepare for writing my own. An amazing account of living through life-changing injury, learning to accept it, and moving on with your life. If a similar tragedy happened to yourself or anyone you know, read this book.
