When it becomes clear that Barbara and her husband cannot care for Jenn on their own, they move her to a group home. Over time, three creative, lighthearted women become Jenn's caregivers, and with their support Jenn reenters the community and experiences travel and adventure, all while capturing the hearts of those around her with her engaging and quirky personality.
Despite her disability, Jenn connects with everyone in her life. And Barbara ultimately realizes that Jenn's lack of language doesn't stop her from having a voice. A touching memoir that strikes a delicate balance between sorrow and joy, heartbreak and triumph, More Than You Can See is Barbara's story of moving beyond tragedy and discovering profound and fulfilling life lessons waiting for her on the other side.
This title will be released on October 4, 2022.

My Review: I have learned over the years that it takes more than blood to be family. This is a testament to how you might lose something but you do not have to lose yourself. This is a must read memoir that you will not be able to put down.

“This book will help readers understand the complexities of recovering from a traumatic brain injury and the healing that comes with time, patience, and endurance. The author weaves her story around the unique caregiving required for her daughter, who lacks any form of communication after her injury. Through laughter, tears, heartbreak, and triumph, the author translates the lessons she learned into a narrative that touches the heart and deepens the respect for survivors of TBI and what they have to teach us.”
