Biographical account of how the author fought battle after battle to get her son’s brain working again after a car accident left him with a TBI. Her heart was in the right place but she seems very overbearing the way she tackled every hurdle and obstacle as everything had to be her way. All credit though, she achieved what she set out to do. The photos were too small and didn’t work well with a kindle and most of them gave no details of any sort. If you learn anything from this book - 1). Don’t drive if you are tired and 2). Never give up.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Thank you NetGalley..

This subject was heartbreaking. The mother did a fantastic job telling her son's story. As a mom myself, I can't even imagine how I would be able to cope with this situation.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review
This book is difficult for me to review because while the story itself is interesting, the author comes off as too much of a narcissist and that really got in the way of the overall story. But narcissism aside, it was a pretty good book and really shows the struggles of overcoming a traumatic brain injury.

What is supposed to be an inspiring story of a young man's struggle & recovery from a life threatening accident is instead imo a shamefully delusional narcissistic megalomaniac blowing smoke up her own *ss in order to feed her insatiable hunger to be seen as a beloved saint and martyr. As if the story itself wasn't enough, readers are treated to a barrage of ridiculous photos of the author, her home, and other irrelevant random people. Surprisingly a few pics of Bobby and family are also included. I can't imagine what the family of Peter & Bobby's real mother must think or feel about this book.
Also, the professor Bobby allegedly threatened was first said to be a woman but later in the book the same professor is said to be a man.

The author was able to convey how the brain injury her son suffered impacted her family. The ability of the author to write such a personal account of her journey without feeling sorry for herself is admirable. Little is said about the families of people that suffer these horrible accidents, so it was nice to read such a personal account from a mother.
