SALEM, NH, October 11, 2012 (Press-News.org) Metamorphosis, Surviving Brain Injury is a real-life survival tale with unexpected twists and turns, and chance meetings that will shock and amaze you. It is the story of true triumph against overwhelming odds and victory of the human spirit. At first glance, you might be tempted to think this is simply a book about recovering from a traumatic life experience, but it is so much more.
"As a survivor, David shares his expertise and provides education, support and encouragement to others with traumatic brain injury, their families, friends, and healthcare professionals," a member of the medical community says. "He tells how one's life can change on every level in a split second. His account is amazingly honest and heartfelt, with a touch of humor."
From the emotionally charged face-to-face meeting with the young man who left David permanently disabled to "chance meetings" along his journey, you will come away with the real and heartfelt feeling that nothing happens by chance and that the universe is filled with miracles well beyond human comprehension.
In 2007, ABC News anchor Bob Woodruff brought traumatic brain injury into the public spotlight with his best-seller In an Instant: A Family's Journey of Love and Healing. The media spotlight was again cast upon brain injury through the experiences of Congresswoman Gabby Giffords.
The CDC estimates that 1.7 million Americans a year experience a traumatic brain injury. Brain injury has been called America's silent epidemic with just cause. Over 300,000 veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan have also come home with traumatic brain injuries. With brain injury occurring every 21 seconds in the United States, in the time it took you to simply read this information, four more Americans have been forever impacted by a brain injury.
David A. Grant works as a writer based out of Salem, New Hampshire. He is currently marketing several inspirational books and working on his next book, The Brain Injury Survivors Handbook. He also operates a companion website and blog for this title.
