Only a few months later, at the age of 36, she survives a life-threatening brain hemorrhage. Amy’s life as she knew it is over. And the future she imagined becomes a distant veil. Fortunately, Amy’s sly humor and tenacious attitude is just what’s needed to deal with months of rehab and coming to terms with not only what she’s lost, but what’s she’s gained. In this unflinching memoir she shares what aggravates and hurts her, the moments of genuine connection, as well as the hilarious mishaps that make her the unintended heroine of her own sitcom. Misadventures of a Happy Heart: A Memoir of Life Beyond Disability is a bridge for the disabled and their caregiving family members and friends. It’s for those who are profoundly impacted by disability, as well as for all of us who love to read stories that break stereotypes. Amy shows us how to dig deep to find that we’re capable of so much more, even when life throws a whammy into our plans. She challenges how we see ourselves and others, disabled or not. To show us that we’re not so different after all. Misadventures of a Happy Heart: A Memoir of Life Beyond Disability is so much more than a book about a traumatic event. It’s about a kick-ass life.
