Story Behind The Book

I was leading a comfortable life as the Central Region Business Transformation Manager at a large company in Cincinnati, commuting to my job from my home in a pastoral setting in Kentucky. My entire world changed on December 18, 2002, when I experienced a severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) from a fall at my place of work. Could I heal from this terrible injury? Would my family and I ever be able to enjoy anything approaching the quality of life we had before the accident?
