The author, a clinical social worker, tells the story of how her personal and professional life was disrupted when she was struck by a car and sustained a traumatic brain injury. She describes how the injury impacted her physically, emotionally, and spiritually, and recounts her struggles to resume a meaningful life in the face of medical, financial, insurance, and legal problems. "Days of Daze is a book of hope. When hit by a car during a noontime walk, the author, in a split second, loses her health, her job, and her image of herself as an intelligent and capable human being. As she struggles with the myriad complexities of her medical situation, she discovers a place within her that touches the divine, sustains her in hours of darkness, and illuminates the pathways of vibrant living. I highly recommend this gentle, gracious, and very readable book for anyone facing the uncertainties and complexities of life. Actually, I recommend it for everyone."--Reverend James McConnell, South Bend, Indiana "Days of Daze provides us with a source of encouragement in the journey through the great difficulty and frustration of traumatic brain injury. The author reveals to us her coping skills and her growing inner courage as she shares her struggle with the perceived setbacks in the process of therapeutic acceptance."--Matthew Davis, M.D., psychiatrist, South Bend, Indiana "Days of Daze shows how encountering a serious physical injury can be a profoundly enriching growth experience. It demonstrates that a well-lived life fully accepts each painful circumstance."--Judy Cassidy, Poet, Stevensville, Michigan
