Realistic Hope: Aspirations for Survivors of Traumatic Brain Injury is a concise, helpful book for survivors of TBI-or any life-threatening trauma or illness-and their family members, friends, and healthcare practitioners. Written by a TBI survivor and coach, the book cautions against expectations of a "return to normal" in favor of a more realistic hope: start where you are and strive to be a little better every day. Moving personal stories and practical tips help survivors and their families weather the acute crisis and understand the lifelong journey ahead.
