Overview

She suffers an injury that should have been fatal-yet she survives and lives to tell about it! As the old saying goes, Well, that's A Likely Story! I have no good news for you! There's no hope! the neurosurgeon tells 20-year-old Sharon Mehesy's heartbroken parents, as she lies near death in the ICU in a deep coma, with a severe traumatic brain injury. But nothing is hopeless with God, because God is the God of Hope! This is the astounding story of God's miraculous intervention in Sharon's life, His amazing healing of her injuries, her incredible journey back from the brink of death, and how God uses Sharon's experiences to enable her to help others who have undergone similar traumas. This unique book tells Sharon's story from two different viewpoints-that of her mother, Eberly, who recounts the story, based on the journals which she kept during that difficult time, and that of Sharon herself, as she inserts her own perspective, thoughts, and feelings, including her poetic Journey Through Brain Injury , throughout the book.
