Sarah Nickerson has it all; a loving husband, three young children, a high powered job, an expensive home and a vacation home in Vermont. She also has all of the accompanying stress of trying to be everything to everyone.
Rushing as usual while trying to keep all of her balls in the air, Sarah is driving to work in the rain while on her cell phone when the unthinkable happens. She has a car accident while going 70 mph and wakes up in the hospital with a severe brain injury that has caused a condition called left neglect. Sarah's brain is unable to recognize left; the left side of her body or anything in her left field of vision.
LEFT NEGLECTED is more than just the story of Sarah's injury and steps to recovery. There's the underlying story of the neglect she experienced growing up with a mother who was overwhelmed by depression and grief following the accidental drowning of Sarah's young brother. As she faces her rehabilitation and her future, she also begins to face her relationship with her mother and the dawning realization that her own family has been left neglected because of the lifestyle she and her husband Rob have chosen.
LEFT NEGLECTED is not all doom and gloom. Ms. Genova has injected a sense of humor into her characters' dialog that makes the story easier to read and thoroughly enjoyable despite the dark subject matter.
