It was written by Alan Cromer's wife Janet, who is a psychiatric RN and discusses the difficulty of being a caretaker to someone with a brain injury. If you have ever suffered a brain injury or know someone who has, this books seems very helpful as it "provides the details of what it takes to undertake the awesome roles of survivor and caretaker." She talks about what it was like to have had her husband suffer a heart attack after boarding a plane to go home. Her husband, Alan, was left with a severe anoxic brain injury from lack of oxygen to his brain during the resuscitation effort. While the book discusses a depressing topic, the author offers hope and humor for those going through such an ordeal. It is definitely worth a read if you or someone else you know is facing severe illness.
