Nobody Home by Molly Townes O'Brien PDF Summary

Book Description: Molly, a successful law professor, had a bicycle accident, suffered a severe Traumatic Brain Injury, and was in a coma for 68 days. This story follows her injury, treatment, rehabilitation and rediscovery of herself.The road to regaining awareness, self-perception and memory was long, embarrassing and often painful. Molly managed to recover well and has returned to teaching law and to writing. Into this book, she integrated stories from her teaching, law practice, and family life. These vignettes are often funny, pitiful and sometimes they glow with hope.The book tells what it feels like to be in a coma, to emerge from a coma and to recover a sense of self. It recounts the work needed to rehabilitate and to compensate for the weaknesses and losses that remain even years after the injury. Molly has gained a new patience and empathy - which are subtle and important superpowers for teaching law students. The story will evoke a mixture of pity and humor that will stay with the reader.This book is wonderful . . . beautifully written, covering so much ground yet with exquisite economy, deep insight, a coherent timeline, a fine sense of relevance and judgment, and a lovely balance between detachment and engagement (and also, I think, between assertiveness and humility). These qualities all add up to a natural and gifted story! It is a story of recovery that holds the reader's attention at every step of the way. Superbly put together.MEMOIRMichael Coper, 1946 - 2019ANU College of Law
