ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

In "Left Neglected" by Lisa Genova, Sarah Nickerson, a successful career woman and mother, sustains a brain injury from a car accident that leaves her with Left Neglect, a neurological condition where she is unaware of anything on her left side. The story follows Sarah’s challenging journey through rehabilitation as she grapples with her limitations and learns to adapt to her new reality. As Sarah navigates her recovery, she re-evaluates her priorities, confronts her past, and redefines her relationships with her husband, children, and mother. The novel explores themes of identity, resilience, and the importance of family support as Sarah strives to regain her independence and embrace a new sense of self.
