Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Morningstar's daughter, Misti, received massive head injuries in an automobile accident; her survival was in question for weeks, and for months head-injury rehabilitation specialists wondered how much Misti would actually recover. This book is Morningstar's story of that recovery in which she played a very active role. While she admits that she could afford excellent rehab care, the story is still compelling. Morningstar kept a daily journal during Misti's recovery, which enabled her to review her daughter's progress, however slight. She has written this book "to help others understand brain trauma and its consequences" and to encourage families to become a significant part of their loved one's recovery. The book keeps readers turning the pages. Recommended for consumer health and patient education collections, especially those with a strong emphasis in head-injury rehabilitation.?Mary J.

This review is from: Journey Through Brain Trauma: A Mother's Story of Her Daughter's Recovery (Paperback)
The reader who described this book as unrealistic prompted me to post this review. My wife, the subject of the book, is certainly not the same as she was before the accident, but the level of recovery she demonstrates is truly remarkable. Misti is actively involved in brain trauma support groups, and I have attended several meetings as well. In comparison to others who face the daily struggle of life with brain trauma, Misti's recovery is amazing.The purpose of the book was to offer hope to those facing the difficult experience of recovery from brain trauma by sharing a personal experience blessed with a positive result. It is certainly anecdotal in nature because it is the specific story of Misti and her family, but it is absolutely true. We thank God daily for the blessings He has given Misti and we pray that many others may also find a full life following a devastating brain injury.

I READ THIS BOOK IN A DAY, AND RUSHED IT OFF TO MY SISTER. HER SON SUFFERED A SEVERE CAR ACCIDENT ON 2/17/02. MISTI'S STORY GIVES ME SUCH HOPE FOR MY NEPHEW GEOFFREY. I KNOW THE ROAD WILL BE HARD BUT WITH GOD, LOVE AND TIME I KNOW HE WILL COME BACK TO US. I CAN'T THANK THE AUTHOR ENOUGH FOR THIS BOOK. IN MY OPINION THIS WOMAN IS A SAINT. THANKS AGAIN SO MUCH FOR THE WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT

Thanks for the encouragement!,
By Cindi Walkerman (Nashville, TN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Journey Through Brain Trauma: A Mother's Story of Her Daughter's Recovery (Paperback)
When I read this book I was in a hospital waiting room and thought there was no way out. This book gave me encouragement and hope that perhaps my child could also fight this injury if I stayed and helped. It has been a year and we are still working and most likely will continue for a long time, but the book gave me hope and the will to continue. Thanks to Louise Morningstar we will continue to work and continue to pray for the miracle she proved possible. Cindi
