June 1996. You are informed that your only son has likely been killed in an overseas terrorist attack. You mourn and prepare for his burial. But then, after four days of unthinkable anguish, you are notified: Sorry, we've made a mistake; your son is alive after all. Grief instantly turns to joy ... until you learn next that he is in a coma with a severe head injury and extensive brain damage. Suddenly, your life, and that of your entire family, is changed forever. This true story poignantly records the heartbreak and miraculous recovery, not in a blow-by-blow clinical fashion, but from a parent's personal perspective. It recounts acts of faith, courage, betrayal, and disappointment. It tells of bureaucratic snafus, violent outbursts, and attempted suicide. It, too, celebrates the lighter moments and myriad small successes that ultimately permitted a family to reclaim their son and a "normal" life.
