I got on a jag of reading memoirs by people who have suffered brain injuries. It's such an interesting topic - it's also nice because you know they recovered well enough to at least write a book.
It's so interesting to compare how Lauren thought and felt about her brain injury at the time and after, versus how other people were perceiving it.
