Crooked Smile
By Lainie Cohen ~ 2003
This is a mother’s story of her son Daniel’s serious brain injury when he was 17. This book is about much more than his medical care and rehabilitation. As she traces his recovery, she reveals the many dimensions of how his brain injury affected her family. She describes the challenges to her marriage and the struggles of her other children. Out of necessity, she moves from observing his medical care to becoming an active advocate for patient and family rights. She shows the power of questioning, expecting more, and using parental instincts. This book is full of emotional honesty that reveals the family trauma of brain injury and the importance of facing challenges and transforming predictions.
