A powerful quick read

I was moved from tears to outright laughter in the span of four hours. The author, Luther Nussbaum, does an outstanding job of bringing you into his thoughts, fears and emotions as his world collides head-on with his worst nightmare. I was drawn into this very personal story and found myself thinking Luther's thoughts and feeling his pain. The Nussbaum family's love and their enduring passion to embrace events with realism and deep compassion sprinkled with a dose of humor made me want to preach the power of the human spirit.I highly recommend buying this book. Get it into your bookclub or just hand a copy to a friend. This book has both "Oprah" appeal and enough detail that you will learn a tremendous amount about the realities of working with individuals who have fallen into a coma. Many kudos to the author who, with his family and friends, reminds us what it means to be truly blessed.
