Sarah Nickerson is a career-driven supermom living in an affluent Boston suburb. She leads a hectic but charmed life with her husband and three children. She is the VP of human
resources at Berkley Consulting, but also fits in taking kids to soccer, daycare, piano lessons...and tries to make it home for dinner. It's a wonder this over-achieving, over-scheduled mom has time to breathe!
But on one fateful day, a quick phone call on the way to work and taking her eyes off the road for one second changes her life forever. A traumatic brain injury completely erases the left side of her world and she must learn to pay close attention to details around her, including her formerly absent mother. She has no awareness of food on the left side of her plate, or even her own left hand and must search for answers in her semi-world.
It's a story of learning independence and finding healing and understanding that perhaps her new, true life - the one away from her former hectic, over-scheduled one - a life of happiness and peace is greater than all the success in the world. This is the first book I've read by Lisa Genova and I was wonderfully impressed. I look forward to reading more of Lisa's novels!
