Left Neglected by Lisa Genova

Has anyone else read this? I couldn't put it down. I ended up buying it for my nook too and am now re-reading it. It's a story about a busy working mom trying to juggle her family's needs who suffers a terrible accident and ends up with a brain injury that prevents her from returning to the career that she had worked so hard for. Her personal journey and transformation were so moving!

I haven't heard of this, but it sounds up my alley. I'll look for it on Amazon after work.

I read this over the weekend. I thought it was well written, and the descriptions of the protagonist's perception of the injury and her rehabilitation were especially interesting and well done. I guess I was a little disappointed that her big revelations seemed kind of obvious to me, but it was still thought provoking.

I felt the same way selu. I read it on monday. I enjoyed it quite a bit, but I found the last half (basically once she left the hospital) to be a little too predictable and long-winded. Other than than, I thought it was really well-written and I couldn't put it down!

I added this to my list of books to get from the library.
