Karen's story of her rehab, recovery, and amazing strength inspire us all. She is a true hero. A touching and heart-wrenching story told in her own words hits home and reminds you of whats really important in life. A great friend, person, athlete, and author tells her story of overcoming all odds and surviving. The only thing better is Karen herself.

This book is very well written. The author expresses her deepest emotions as she relays the story of her journey of recovery from a traumatic brain injury. I cried, laughed, felt as though on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next. I couldn't put the book down. It was a heart-warming experience to read how an individual overcomes tragedy and turns it into an opportunity to reach out and help others. Her faith in God surely carried her through this journey, com- forting and protecting her, even when she was on the edge of giving up. This book is as inspirational as any of the Joni Erickson books I have read. The message is clear...there is always hope.

Karen's book shows us the difficulties of rehabilitation, and finding knowledgeable professional treatment in this field. It was interesting to learn how family and friend relationships are affected by these accidents

Karen's story is just that - inspiring. I found that I could not put the book down. Her faith in God is so strong. I wish she would write a followup book, to tell what has happened in recent years.
