Good Book I just Finished!

  Hi All!

I have just finished reading the book "Left Neglected" by Lisa Genova.   It tells the story of a young woman who, as the result of a car accident, has to learn to live her life in the "new normal".

She has a brain injury that is very ODD, which, I think is a lot of

what is appealing to me, in this story.  The whole concept of a brain that just does not acknowledge that there is a "Left" (in her universe) is compelling, to me.  How can that work??

How the woman adapts and adjusts to all the change in her world is  a tribute to human perseverance . 

I saw a lot of myself in this story.  We go through life thinking that things HAVE to be a certain way.  We are convinced that various arbitrary "standards" and "measures" of our Success reflect our worth.  I think that this story gives us a unique opportunity to see how clouded and misguided those standards can be!   When it is all "said and done", what really is Important?

I wanted to reccommend this book to anyone in the group who struggles with the "after" part of Life!  (Or, what I refer to as the "Then What?"  Chapters:)
