Fallen: A Post-Concussion Memoir

Fallen is a remarkable memoir of resilience and a revelatory look into living with post-concussion syndrome.

One morning run. One fall. One life changed forever.

When Angela trips, she slams face-first into the asphalt, shaking up her brain and shattering her life. She must fight through the physical pain of loose teeth, whiplash, and a small brain hemorrhage. Additionally, she must abstain from the things that make up an ordinary life, from watching TV to cleaning house. Through art and unflinching honesty, Angela uncovers the resilience buried deep within-and confronts the hardest truth of all: learning to grieve the woman she once was while learning to love the woman who emerges.
