ABOUT THE BOOK:
Rebooting My Brain is the true story of what happens when you get yanked out of your life by a crisis―and have to get back on the ride all over again. With refreshing candor, Maria Ross shares how the relentless pace of her life came to a screeching halt when an undetected brain aneurysm ruptured and nearly killed her. Along her stubborn road back to health, her resulting cognitive and emotional challenges forced her―sometimes kicking and screaming―to reframe her life, her work and her identity.
With humor and heart, Ross reveals the keys to her extraordinary comeback and how her perspective is forever changed, mostly for the better. Funny, touching and real, this book not only shares an inspirational story of transformation but enlightens readers about the surprising effects of brain injury... and explores the question, "How do our brains define who we are?"
"Humorous and honest" San Francisco Book Review
"With a positive message that speaks loudly, "Rebooting my Brain" is a fine read that shouldn't be overlooked by anyone seeking recovery-oriented memoirs." Midwest Book Review
"A captivating, deeply authentic memoir...a testament to one woman's personal courage and a reminder that health is a tenuous treasure." Carol Cassella, best-selling author of Oxygen and Healer
