WHAT READERS ARE SAYING
Dancing in the Narrows, by Anna Penenberg
“Prepare to jump through time and travel along with Anna, the author, as she seeks healing strategies, normative and alternative, for her daughter, suffering from a debilitating and baffling disease. A rare, tender, honest look at resilience and hope in the face of overwhelming pain and disappointment. Written with an artist’s touch.” – Alicia Magal
Prisoners Without Bars, by Donna O'Donnell Figurski
“My wife’s brain injury has also changed the course of our family’s life. It’s inspiring to read Donna’s account of those early days in her and David’s journey.
All brain injuries are vastly different, but all of us that find ourselves as a caregiver, it’s important to realize and remember that we are not alone.” – Amazon Review
Steering Through It, by Lynn McLaughlin
“I really enjoyed this book. It is easy to read and is about one woman’s reactions to and handling of the news she was suffering from a brain tumour. It is not just only from her point of view but also those of her family and describes in detail the behaviours and feelings of someone suffering from a brain injury.” – Amazon Review
Have You Seen These Children? by Veronica Slaughter
“Slaughter writes with passion, gracefully offering the delicate details of her parents’ courtship and the erosion of her own relationship with her father as well as relating the fear and confusion that she and her siblings felt. Her narrative dexterity will hook readers immediately… A poignant account of traumatic childhood memories, resilience, and survival.” – Kirkus Reviews
The Pale-Faced Lie, by David Crow
“The Pale-Faced Lie is as gripping as some of the best-selling fiction books ever written. David Crow’s amazing true story is hard to read, but even harder to put down. I missed one of my own deadlines because I didn’t want to stop reading!”—Sherry Monahan, award-winning author
But My Brain Had Other Ideas, by Deb Brandon
“Superb! I am a (lapsed) Occupational Therapist and educator with a particular interest in neurology and sensory and cognitive differences. As a professional, I am struck with the author’s precise, descriptive and insightful presentation of her experience.” – Amazon Review
