We live in a nation of people who believe the good life is our due. When national trauma hits, we are stunned. But in reality, trauma survivors have long filled our hospitals, our therapy programs, and sometimes our streets. These personal profiles of neurological injury survivors are proof positive that serious trauma is being overcome daily by many. New perspectives on disability are making a difference. New definitions of quality of life are bringing our largest minority out of the darkened rooms of depression and into the bright coffee shops of contemporary America. Each survivor has been confronted with a sudden, startling change in lifestyle. These in depth family sketches offer the core of what it is to wake up with an imperfect body or mind and face the day.Bane, Annie is the author of 'Bonsai Days The Art Of Living After Trauma', published 2004 under ISBN 9781413728422 and ISBN 1413728421.
