review 1: This was such a tremendous book. As a mother, this is my biggest fear, that something terrible would happen to me during or after childbirth. But the opposite happened to me. My first child was born with several complex medical conditions and defects. She has been through so many surgeries and complex illnesses, including ARDS like author Lindsey O'Connor. To hear this story and the see the similarities with my daughter's illness was heartbreaking. I am awed by O'Connor's strength and tenacity. The honesty with which she writes is inspiring. I am not a writer, but a reader, and reading this story filled me with so many complex and conflicting emotions. This was a truly amazing book.
review 2: Excellent book....Spoke to the heart of a traumatic illness and... more what is brings not only to the patient but to the family....Lindsey has a way with words that makes one feel her angst...As a Registered Nurse with over 30 years of experience, I feel it should be recommended to every patient that endures a traumatic injury, especially a TBI.....What a calming effect it would have for them to know that what they are feeling is normal and that this too shall pass.... less
