This personal account of brain injury is unusual as it covers the author's entire lifetime. Blakemore’s unflinching description of his early family life, stay in an orphanage and time in the Marines help the reader know him before and after his brain injury. He describes his ongoing recovery over forty years with detailed insights into his thought processes after his brain injury. He shows how the reactions of others give him hope as well as frustrations and despair.

  This story is about not giving up and it takes the reader through his accomplishments of marriage, family, college, and work. It is a remarkably candid and humorous book with a fresh perspective about what it means to live with a brain injury - and to do it fully and with determination.
