Beautifully written first person account of life after a brain injury. . . . This is a must read for anyone with a brain injury and anyone who is close to someone with a brain injury.

The Judy Taylor Story
A compelling story. . . . Reading it will make you laugh, smile, cringe, cry and most importantly, think. If you want inspiration, Lifeliner has no shortage packed into its pages.

To the author’s credit, avoids religiosity and preachiness . . . With this approach, Jeejeebhoy lets Aban’s Accension remain a gentle allegory, which may play in the reader’s consciousness (as it has mine) for weeks or months.
