"Genetti has written a triumph, chronicling her recovery from the days when she struggled to write a complete sentence while fiercely trying to hold on to her identity. Her autoethnographic study of Post Traumatic Growth after Traumatic Brain Injury and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a remarkable treasure of transformation. Genetti’s singular will and determination have driven her healing and reset our equations for what is possible after neurological injury."Robert Richard Sanders, MS CCC-SLP, MTS, Speech Language Pathology Advanced Clinical Specialist, Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital
