This is the story of three artists—singer Brandon Scarth, painter Kris Haas, and performer Dani Sanderson—who sustained traumatic brain injuries and reconnected with their art and their communities as a way of learning to cope with their new capabilities. Each tells a unique story and demonstrates how they retain their essential selves; how they learn to express a new reality; and how they relate to their families, friends, and medical teams. Moving and enlightening, especially for clinical practitioners and students.
VERDICT A successful look at the complexity of human nature and its permutations.
