"Sarah Nickerson miraculously manages every minute of her day, and the day of her husband and three children. That is, until one day while driving, she looks away from the road for a few seconds and in the blink of an eye, suffers a traumatic brain injury. The injury completely erases the left side of her world, and because of that, she is forced to relinquish control of many aspects of her life. Without the ability to perform even the easiest of tasks, Sarah must rely on others to help regain her independence and heal, and in the meantime, she also discovers that what's really important is within reach, if only she'll slow down long enough to notice. I enjoyed Left neglected and was fascinated to learn more about traumatic brain injuries. Sarah Paulson does a wonderful job as narrator, also. "
