This book, like others in the "Chicken Soup" series, is a compilation of inspiring stories submitted by caregivers who have found fulfillment, hope, and a sense of themselves in the act of caring for others. Caregivers of brain injury survivors will see themselves in these stories. Co-author LeAnn Thieman—who has spent her life as a nurse, educator and, now, author and speaker—dedicates this Chicken Soup book to caregivers, "who by their benevolent acts of kindness, single-handedly ease the suffering in the world." That's you.
