Publisher's Synopsis
When Abigail Thomas's husband, Rich, was hit by a car, her brain was shattered. From then on, she often can't remember what she did the previous year, month, or hour. Her daily life becomes a succession of outbursts, terrors, and hallucinations that condemn her to live in a nursing home. This tragedy, however, will be the starting point for a new life and the search for another happiness for Abigail. Brimming with Thomas's characteristic wit, humor, and mordacity, this splendorous memoir gives us a story of enormous courage and great changes: the move from Manhattan to the remote town near her husband's new home, the comfort of her family of three dogs and the friendships that are born; and original ways of dealing with caregiving, guilt, and discovering gratitude.
