Where Is the Mango Princess?: A Journey Back From Brain Injury-Fast Shipping

Description

Humorist Cathy Crimmins has written a deeply personal, wrenching, and often hilariousaccount of the effects of traumatic brain injury, not only on the victim, in thiscase her husband, but on the family.

When her husband Alan is injured in a speedboataccident, Cathy Crimmins reluctantly assumes the role of caregiver and learns tocope with the person he has become. No longer the man who loved obscure Japanesecinema and wry humor, Crimmins’ husband has emerged from the accident a childlikeand unpredictable replica of his former self with a short attention span and a penchantfor inane cartoons.
Where Is the Mango Princess? is a breathtaking account that exploresthe very nature of personality-and the complexities of the heart.
