'I think some small part of me knew I was living an unsustainable life. Every now and then, it would whisper, slow down. You don't need all this.'
Sarah Nickerson has it all: a high-flying career, a loving husband and children, a second home. But does she have time to enjoy it? Too busy to pay full attention, can she see what's left neglected?
One fateful day while driving to work, Sarah looks away from the road for one second too long. In the blink of an eye, her overfull life comes to a screeching halt. In the wake of a devastating accident that affects her body and mind in surprising ways, it's time for her to choose: who does she really want to be?

I enjoyed Left Neglected. I was fascinated by the detail in the book about Sarah's brain injury and how it impacted her everyday life and her sense of identity. Her brain doesn't know the left exists and she needs to retrain her mind and find new ways to adapt to her new reality. The medical detail aside this was a page-turner packed with sad moments and some funny moments as well.
