Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was two months away from getting married when I suffered my very first out-of-the-blue epileptic seizure. Along the path set before me in the years to come, with all its twists and turns, I learned to trust in God that although many things were out of my control, I was put on this blessed but sometimes broken road with purpose and I wasn't alone. I could choose to fear each of the unknown curves and bumps along the way or to have faith through them. Painful as each may have seemed at the time, I needed to endure each challenge placed before me for a specific reason. Blessed with Brain Damage is my story of faith, strength, survival, and taking things one day at a time. I may have come out of these experiences with both emotional and physical scars (from invasive brain surgery), but I have learned how much richer my life is by adopting the attitude of gratitude. Many angels, here on earth and from up above, came to my aide along the way and by sharing my encouraging story, I hope I am in my own small way paying forward the kindnesses I received. I wanted this to serve as a reminder for to my daughters of their own inherited strength as they navigate whatever roadblocks they may come across in their own lives. Blessed With Brain Damage is an essential read for anyone struggling with epilepsy, addiction, or simply in need of a message of hope, positivity, and gratitude while encountering challenging circumstances in this crazy thing called life! *A portion of the proceeds from book sales to go to the Eastern Pennsylvania chapter of the Epilepsy Foundation*

Book excerpt: This memoir shares one individual's journey and his testimony to the goodness of God. Entranced in the complexities of life, he was enjoying his childhood-until the accident ... A head injury has these components: physical, behavioral, psychological, physiological, perceptual, emotional, spiritual, and cognitive. Till Death Do Us Part explores struggles for dealing with the head-injured; physical aggression and rage and whether they can be overcome; family dynamics; hope for the head-injured community; and conflict tips. In this book, you will read of some tragic behavior and its consequences. May you experience God's peace as the details are sewn together. "With God all things are possible" (Matthew 19:26 NIV). This is a cursory glance at my life. It hones in on the head injury (TBI) I suffered as a youth. It traces my development into young adulthood and enters into my married life. My relationship with Dana is briefly romanticized and the arrival of our children glorified. The union with my beloved bride started to change dramatically over time. Often with the distractions in life, I lose my focus and then my cool. My head injury was the source of these changes. It became the greatest culprit of all. Unfortunately, my wife fell victim to my relentless physical aggression, albeit unintentionally. As the story unfolds, for my wife the question would be her reaction-Till Death Do Us Part ... or not?

Book excerpt: Ted Goodrich had everything going for him at age twenty-three, but he didnt realize it until it was all taken away. He had just finished playing in a softball game when he went home to get changed before meeting some friends. His friends wondered why he never showed up. They found out why when they learned hed been found unconscious at the bottom of his apartment stairs. He had a fractured skull, severe brain swelling, and bleeding in and around his brain. Everyone thought he would die, including doctors who told his mom she may want to consider taking him off life support. But instead, she approved a risky surgery, and ten days after his accident, he woke up from a coma. But life was different: Goodrich had no memories and had to learn how to walk and talk again. His life became a never-ending series of sessions with physical therapists, speech therapists, and other specialists. Very few people are able to survive the type of accident that Goodrich endured, and those who do must learn to live a new life. Find out how he has endured in this story defined by faith, courage, love, and family. Forword Clarion Review: Goodrich's rocky road to recovery was miraculous. He died four times in the ambulance, and the doctors said the would either be in a coma forever or have significant brain damage. While he was unconscious, his mother approved a risky surgery to remove part of his skull; this left him with post-traumatic amnesia and years of therapy ahead of him. The story, which has all the makings of a Hollywood tearjerker. Kirkus Review: In telling his story, Goodrich has a tendency to overemphasize, unnecessary information, relating extensive medical explanations and tiny details from the scenes her re-creates. When those scenes of non-recognition and personal struggle get going, however, they can be candid, heartbreaking, and exceptionally insightful. His lucid descriptions often reveal an unexpected range of emotions that go far beyond the expected despair or determinations found in similar stories.

Book excerpt: On an autumn day in 1998, college student Laura Hanson is in the prime of her life. One moment she is driving back to school after a hayride; the next moment she is paralyzed, deaf, and comatose after her car strikes a tree. Shared through the eyes of a mother's heart, this poignant memoir of a traumatic journey into the little known world of brain injury is an incredible story of love lost and love endured of heroes determined to overcome insurmountable obstacles and of a family as it struggles to cope with the loss of their daughter.

In this amazing story of how a young woman and her family survived incredible odds, there is one clear message that through faith, hope, and love the human spirit will triumph over the most difficult of circumstances.
