A beautiful example of coming to terms with injury and loss, overcoming with love.  A mix of fast-paced and sometimes gruesome medical rehab, woven together with quieter stretches of deeply philosophical reflection.  It is personal memoir (of a specific, very limited period of time), examination of work, art, and intention,; it’s a love story of the highest order and a love letter to life.  Very much worth your time, whether you’ve read anything else of the author’s oeuvre or not.
