When Abigail Thomas\'s husband, Rich, was hit by a car, his brain shattered.
This wise, plainspoken, beautiful book enacts the truth Abigail discovered in the five years since the accident: You might not find meaning in disaster, but you might, with effort, make something useful of it..
It is also about her relationship with Rich, a man who lives in the eternal present, and the eerie poetry of his often uncanny perceptions.
How she built that Life is a story of great courage and great change, of moving to a small country town, of a new family composed of Three dogs, knitting, and friendship, of facing down guilt and discovering gratitude.
This tragedy is the ground on which Abigail had to build a new life.
He has no memory of what he did the hour, the day, the year before.
Subject to rages, terrors, and hallucinations, he must live the rest of his Life in an institution.
