When she is in a car accident an receives a traumatic brain injury, everything is turned upside down. She has a medical condition called "left neglect" which makes her unaware of anything on her left: the left side of a page, the left side of her body, etc. She has a long road to recovery, and can no longer work, drive, or even walk easily. She can't be trusted to take care of her children, so her mother comes to live with them. Sarah and her mother haven't spoken much in years, so their relationship is difficult at first. This is a fascinating book about re-prioritizing our lives and finding what is truly important, as well as digging deep for the strength to heal and hope for the future.
