I was disappointed in this book. It was predictable with a predictable ending wrapped up in a nice package. The medical condition - left neglect or hemispatial neglect - that is at the heart of the book is fascinating. However, the story was an old one - Woman living a high powered lifestyle suffers a traumatic injury. In her recover, she discovers new priorities and a new paradigm for her life. But new jobs come up at just the right time. Relationships work out at just the right time. The accident and injury is devastating. The presentation of what happens next is just too neat.
