About the Book
This partial autobiography, written with prose and poetry, concerns a 17 year old, 195 pound, athletic senior class president. He awoke from a 4 month coma, after 4 craniotomies, as a 3 year old mentally, in a 120 pound body. It tells of his struggles and trials this young man endured in his desire to achieve his goals before brain surgery and coma. It continues as he relives many of the same type of experiences of his pre-accident days. Graduation from high school, attempting/succeeding in completing college, driving, looking for work and dating, were many of the steps he took in order to find himself. This all led to his meeting the girl of his dreams, proposing, and finally tying the knot.
