Fascinating subject matter - brain injured woman who does not see or notice anything on her left (left of her plate, left arm, left side of room, etc.). If I had liked Sarah more, I would have given it 4 stars. She was a very high-powered business woman who had an accident while using her cell phone as she was driving. Jobs, money, and big house meant more to her and her husband than family. As Sarah progressed in her recovery, she came to see that she could no longer do it all. Even if she wanted to, she realized family and time were more important than money.

A good portrayal of someone, and the whole family, coping with the recuperation of a brain injury. Many changes for everyone ... acceptance, not giving up hope of recovery, adjustments, moving to a small town. The family has learned to celebrate the life they have and not bemoan the life they lost. There is a subplot of a mother -daughter relationship.
