Even the best therapist can only guess what it truly means to live with hemianopia and neglect. A 40-year-old woman survived a brain hemorrhage with a lot of luck. She describes the highs and lows she experienced during her recovery. This book conveys an unbroken courage for life and therefore provides encouragement. A lot of emotion, a healthy dose of assertiveness, and the entire spectrum between despair, hope, and confidence accompany the reader throughout the book. For those affected, as well as their relatives, this book can be a real help.
