While biking to work one summer morning, Alyssa Favreau gets in an accident, has a stroke, and suffers severe brain damage. After losing consciousness, she spends the next month floating between wakefulness and surreal dreams.

As she emerges back into the world, she must relearn how to move, think, feel, and live in a changed body and mind. In this memoir, Alyssa chronicles the frustrating, absurd, uncanny process of re-entering her life as someone not quite the same as before.
