A Matter of Panache by Debra Sanders Traumatic Brain Injury

See "more details" for the information on the back of the book.

Put a high-achieving woman behind the wheel, add lack of sleep and end up with a recipe for a roller coaster ride known as a "Mild" Traumatic Brain Injury.

Before her accident, Debra spent her career providing students and fellow educators with new and innovative ways to learn and grow and get beyond their limitations. Ironically, a car accident gave her a life altering set of physical and mental limitations of her own.

This book will make you laugh and cry. It takes the reader on a mental and physical journey of a highly intelligent woman, who experiences physical and emotional loss and pain. You see through her eyes the recognition that the special "panache" which helped her in her career was lost in the accident. With her recognition comes the chance for her to create a new and different life, regaining that "panache" in a different way.

I really enjoyed this book and I believe it is a great read for anyone, especially:
~ Someone who has suffered a brain injury
~ Family members, caregivers, and support team members of those who have suffered brain injuries
~ Educators that aid and serve students with disabilities
~ Safe driving advocates
~ Those that support our brave soldiers who are now returning home - especially those who feel that their loved one isn't quite the same

You will get a glimpse of some of the oddities that come when a brain no longer functions in a "normal" manner.

This was generously edited by my husband so you can understand my thoughts, because I too am on the brain injury roller-coaster.
