Reading helps us re-engage language skills, express ourselves verbally, and connect with others.


The author Carole Starr is a brain injury survivor like us. She writes: "It took me eight years and much help from family, friends, other brain injury survivors and medical professionals to come to terms with the new Carole. Accepting brain injury was the greatest challenge I've ever faced. There were many, many times when I thought I couldn't do it. But I did learn to accept brain injury and to like myself again. I've gone from being uprooted by brain injury, to putting down new roots to rising into this changed life and finding a way to soar. My life is very different than I ever thought it would be, but it is again filled with meaning, purpose and joy."

This book is more than the story of one survivor accepting brain injury. It's also a workbook that readers can use to apply the strategies to their own brain injury journeys. The opportunity to think, write, and talk about one's own experience makes this book a powerful resource.
