review 1: Had to read this one for my Pediatric TBI class. I liked it as a student who has studied all this already. It's nice to hear a bunch of medical talk or hear the mom describe what her son is doing and be able to understand exactly what's going on. Other than that, it was ok. Pretty much just tracks the son's progress after his TBI and his family's growth and development as well. I can see how we would read it for school, but I'm not sure I would have read it otherwise.
review 2: I really liked The Water Giver... She expresses every emotion and the real roller coaster ride of having a child in NICU. She made me laugh and sigh and cry and smile. I liked her writing and the pictures too. I loved her new view of motherhood. At the end of the book she said she f... moreinally believed in miracles but never really gave credit where credit was due. But maybe her spiritual journey is more private? less
