Listening in the Silence, Seeing in the Dark: Reconstructing Life after Brain Injury by Ruthann Knechel Johansen

Honestly and somewhat philosophically, Johansen testifies about her son, Erik, who suffered severe brain injuries at age 15. She describes Erik's treatments in detail, reflecting, sometimes negatively, on hospitals' staff and administration and recounting setbacks as well as progress. She interpolates the poems she wrote to relieve day-to-day tensions and acknowledges the relief that support from Erik's classmates, family, friends, and even some outsiders offered her entire family. Her and husband Bob's focus on Erik came to have negative effects on their daughter, Sonia, three years' Erik's junior, and so they had Erik move to a rehabilitation institution. That action and later, happier moves to high school and college Johansen relates lovingly as well as realistically. Besides the history of Erik's "reconstruction," Johansen pursues questions of justice, compassion, and responsibility, and reflects on her and Bob's attitudes and actions without trying to sugarcoat them as things they did only for Erik's benefit. Such candor is rare enough to distinguish this book from similar accounts of families dealing with stricken children.
