About this listen

 From neuroscientist and bestselling author Lisa Genova comes a story of resilience in the face of a devastating diagnosis. After a car crash leaves a vibrant mother in her thirties with a traumatic brain disorder called “left neglect,” she learns what truly matters most in life.

Sarah Nickerson, like any other working mom, is busy trying to have it all. One morning while racing to work and distracted by her cell phone, she looks away from the road for one second too long. In that blink of an eye, all the rapidly moving parts of her over-scheduled life come to a screeching halt. After a brain injury steals her awareness of everything on her left side, Sarah must retrain her mind to perceive the world as a whole. In so doing, she also learns how to pay attention to the people and parts of her life that matter most.

In this powerful and poignant New York Times bestseller, Lisa Genova explores what can happen when we are forced to change our perception of everything around us. Left Neglected is an unforgettable story about finding abundance in the most difficult of circumstances, learning to pay attention to the details, and nourishing what truly matters.

Fantastic book, so glad they finally added it to audible. The narrator is perfect. Interesting story about a super busy working mum and a fascinating condition that most people have not heard of. The end was a bit easy but I loved it anyway.

I enjoyed the way that this novel sheds light on the issues faced by those who live with left neglect following TBI. I like its positivity which reflects my own outlook on life. Recommended for patients and carers of those who live with brain injury.

Reassurance for those who live with TBI
