To Root & To Rise: Accepting Brain Injury

Accepting a changed new life is one of the greatest challenges brain injury survivors face. It’s also one of the most important.  Coming to terms with brain injury can mean the difference between a mournful life spent looking backward and a meaningful life spent moving forward. 

This brain injury book offers hope for those struggling with an unexpected new life. Accepting brain injury may not be easy, but it is possible. Long-term brain injury survivor Carole Starr offers gentle encouragement, hard-won wisdom and numerous strategies that survivors, caregivers and professionals can use. 

To Root & To Rise is more than a book; it’s also a workbook. The questions in each chapter allow readers to take Carole’s strategies and apply them to their own experience. These questions can be answered on one’s own, with family members, with rehabilitation professionals, or with a brain injury support group. This book is a powerful resource you’ll refer to again and again.
