Love You Hard: A Memoir of Marriage, Brain Injury, and Reinventing Love Audiobook

Abby Maslin shares an inspiring story of resilience and commitment in a deeply affecting new memoir. After her husband suffered a traumatic brain injury, the couple worked together as he recovered—and they learned to love again.  When Abby Maslin's husband, TC, didn't make it home on August 18, 2012, she knew something was terribly wrong. Her fears were confirmed when she learned that her husband had been beaten by three men and left for dead mere blocks from home, all for his cell phone and debit card. The days and months that followed were a grueling test of faith. As TC recovered from a severe traumatic brain injury that left him unable to speak and walk, Abby faced the challenge of caring for—and loving—a husband who now resembled a stranger. Love You Hard is the raw, unflinchingly honest story of a young love left broken, and the resilience required to mend a life and remake a marriage. Told from the caregiver's perspective, this book is a daring exploration of true love: what it means to love beyond language, beyond abilities, and into the place that reveals who we really are. At the heart of Abby and TC's unique and captivating story are the universal truths that bind us all. This is a tale of living and loving wholeheartedly, learning to heal after profound grief, and choosing joy in the wake of tragedy.

"In her memoir, Love You Hard, Abby Maslin shares an inspiring story about her husband's brutal attack - one that left him with a brain injury - by thug teenagers- and the struggle to regain their life and love. This is an incredible story and it was interesting hearing the story narrated by the author. I became invested in Abby and TC and am so happy that he survived and their marriage survived. I cried, laughed and smiled all the way through this book. I highly recommend this book. "
