About this title

Synopsis

A tap on the head, and anything can go wrong. Anything usually does go wrong. You may not remember how to swallow. Or you may look at food and perspire instead of salivate and salivate when you hear your favorite song. You may not know your name, or you may think you're someone different every hour. Everyone you know and will ever know could become a strange, including the face in the mirror. When you tell someone you're sad, you may shriek; your entire vocabulary may consist only of groans or hiccups. A brain injury can shatter your perceptions about the future, splinter your past, and send your sense of time whirling in any number of directions. And that's just the beginning.
