Review of From Tragedy to Triumph
From Tragedy to Triumph by Jessica E Taylor is an inspiring book that tells the story of one brain-injured lady, her courageous struggles, and her eventual triumph. Despite her condition, Jessica never gave up and now lives a full and meaningful life. At her ripe age, she looks back with gratitude for everything she faced and battled due to her head injury.
A somewhat ordinary day turns out to be chaotic for Jessica. Her nearly fatal fall due to a dimly lit room would forever change her life. She ends up with memory loss, depression, and a regressed personality. Her odyssey to find justice for the harm caused is long and very tiring. Her faith and will to live are tested, but she does all she can to push through all the pain.
What I loved most about this book was the author's resilience and the courage to tell her story. This book raises awareness of brain injuries and their impact on individuals and their families. It is educational and can be used by victims to comprehend their injuries. Caregivers can use the book to learn more about what to expect when caring for a brain-injured person, and they may also find inspiration in the story of Ken and Paul, who loved Jessica unconditionally despite her condition.
The only flaw I found in this book was the numerous errors. Although minor, they were distracting and almost derailed the otherwise smooth flow of the story. A thorough editing would do this book justice.
I rate this book four out of five stars. While I found the message on positively impacting someone's life to be great, I was disappointed by the number of grammatical errors that I noted. I understand that everyone makes mistakes, but these errors appear too frequently. I would have rated the book five stars if the errors had been corrected.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn about brain injuries and the challenges that survivors face. It will also provide reassurance and hope to those who have been affected by a brain injury, as it shows that they are not alone and that they can overcome their challenges.
