Produktbeschreibung

Dr. Daniel Herlihy finally had the ideal life: a growing medical practice, a beautiful wife, and a house on a golf course. But a devastating car accident leaves him unable to recognize his wife and family. He loses his ability to speak, read, or write. Broken in body and mind, he is barely more than a human vegetable. A neurologist confirms Daniel's severe brain bleed has resulted in complete amnesia. The prognosis? Long-term dementia and death within 5 years. His perfect life vanishes. His wife leaves him. His family abandons him. He loses his medical practice and his house on the golf course. He entertains suicidal thoughts. He joins the ranks of the homeless on the streets of Dallas, Texas. Two things miraculously turn his downward spiral around: Doctors prescribe a service dog to ward off suicide and daily journaling to bring back his ability to speak, write and read. Today, Daniel no longer lives on the streets and is the author of three books on overcoming traumatic brain injuries, the benefits of service dogs, and his return to a new normal. Normal from Afar is a story of survival, recovery, and revelation.
