***LARGE FONT EDITION LAUNCHING IN SEPTEMBER!*** "Em is a testament to what is possible to accomplish in life after brain injury." Victoria Katomski Director of Rehabilitation Centre for Neuro Skills®¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ Discover the Power of Resilience and Hope: The Transformative Journey of Surviving and Thriving After a Traumatic Brain Injury Why You Should Read This Book: In an inspiring literary memoir debut, The Best of the Worst: My True Story of Surviving and Thriving After a Traumatic Brain Injury, published by Rainmaker Publishing, Emily Silver Owen offers a profound glimpse into the life-altering journey of getting her life back after suffering a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Owen's narrative captures the essence of resilience, hope, and the undying human spirit in the face of adversity.Struck by a drunk driver in a life-changing moment on September 7, 2019, Emily's world was turned upside down that day. Walking her dog just minutes after taking a photo outside a bar, she became another statistic in the ever-growing number of TBI cases worldwide. However, refusing to be defined by her injury, Emily's memoir transcends the story of the accident to spotlight the challenging yet rewarding road to recovery. Through her candid recounting, readers are invited into the day-to-day battles and triumphs that mark the TBI recovery journey. "The Best of the Worst" opens with a powerful analogy about living with TBI, likening the experience to a series of frustrating mishaps that encapsulate the disconnect between desire and ability. Yet, it is through this lens of struggle that Emily's humor, strength, and determination shine brightest. Her narrative is not just her own but serves as a source of hope for others navigating the aftermath of a TBI. TBI affects millions annually, with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reporting approximately 2.8 million TBI-related emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and deaths each year in the United States alone. Despite its prevalence, TBI remains a misunderstood and often invisible injury, underscoring the significance of firsthand accounts like Emily's in raising awareness and understanding. Endorsed by healthcare professionals and survivors alike, "The Best of the Worst" is an important contribution to literature on brain injury. Victoria Katomski, Director of Rehabilitation at the Centre for Neuro Skills and a leading speech and cognitive therapist specializing in TBI recovery, praises the book, stating, "Em is a testament to what is possible to accomplish in life after brain injury." Emily's story is more than a memoir; "I will spend the rest of my life trying to right the wrong I experienced," she declared. Her mission transcends personal healing, aiming to influence global awareness of TBI and the importance of mindfulness in everyday actions.
