About the Book

Traumatic Brain Injury - Attempted murder - This zany tale with a twist is the true history of a teen's wrong choices and the consequences to himself and his family -- eventually finding love and a new life. Instead of a gratifying future carefully planned, TBI families are frequently compelled to exchange their idealistic dreams for a time of fear and turmoil. Sober Jim was never one to take situations lying down! This is his story of courage and recovery. A captivating journey of heroism, fun and stubbornness in the decade of the late 1970's - Sober Jim's climb to healing is chronicled the minute he went missing in an attempted murder plot. Included are many experiences of other head injury survivors he met, each hoping for complete healing. The author -- and Jim's mother -- was elected founding president of the Southern California Head Injury Foundation, Inc. (SCHIF) in 1982. Today California is an active chapter of the Brain Injury Association of America - BIAUSA. In those formative years of the 1980's, thousands of families and professionals united to open up a successful grassroots corridor. Because of these early endeavors, "The Decade of the Brain" was introduced to the nation by 1990. New brain research, state and nationwide helmet laws, lowered speed limits, child safety restraint laws, enforced mandatory seat belt and new air bag laws came into being. Thousands -- and now millions - genuinely made a momentous difference. This is how it began. Many head injury victims are affected in a similar way - time and again through vehicle accidents, near drownings, extreme sports injuries, and other disastrous means. What's more -- war, assault weapons, and gun fascination play a big part in today's societal injuries as well. The families of these ill-fated and hospitalized patients in the 1980's grouped together and helped to save the future generations from a similar fate through new preventive laws. Backing the discovery and research of innovative recovery methods. This is their story.

Also paving the road for discovery and research of innovative recovery methods. Patricia proved her abilities by spearheading the ongoing efforts to change the traumatic head injury world. She wrote dozens of articles and spoke to thousands throughout her tenure as president of SCHIF. This has been a passion fulfilled.
