This book opens up people’s eyes and minds to sufferers and their direct family members/carers about the daily struggles they face and have faced since the brain injury. Kevin Foy was an amazing specialist and was a major part of my partners rehabilitation and we were so pleasured to have met and received his care. We were very upset when he left the Walton Centre, however, we hope he carries on assisting other survivors with his empathetic nature, a truly amazing man. We could not thank him enough.

I had a dear friend who suffered brain injury at the hands of a drunk driver. This book enabled me to gain some insight into the suffering, the life changing experiences of my friend and others.

I am a mother to a boy with an ABI. We have been very lucky on our ABI journey to work with Dr Foy amongst other amazing Dr’s. The first half of the book is like looking back on our lives so far. The second half is very informative and will help us as we go forward. For anyone who finds themselves in situation where they have to learn or live with a ABI i hope you learn of this book. It is so easy to understand, and very helpful. It is an excellent insight and will offer you help and guidance. For me i know i will refer back to it for guidance. A very well written book, Thank you Dr Foy

A must have for anybody who has an ABI or their friends and family! Really clear and concise information. I’m in rehab for a severe TBI and unfortunately here in Ireland, the resources just aren’t there but this book is an excellent source to have and to delve in and out of. I’ve learned more from the first five chapters then I have in 2 years of outpatient rehab. Sad but true. Thank you Dr Foy.
