Description
About the Book
When Abigail Thomas's husband, Rich, was hit by a car, her brain was shattered. From then on, she often can't remember what she did the previous year, month, or hour. Her daily life becomes a succession of outbursts, terrors, and hallucinations that condemn her to live in a nursing home. This tragedy, however, will be the starting point for a new life and the search for another happiness for Abigail. Brimming with Thomas's characteristic wit, humor, and mordacity, this splendorous memoir gives us a story of enormous courage and great changes: the move from Manhattan to the remote town near her husband's new home, the comfort of her family of three dogs and the friendships that are born; and original ways of dealing with caregiving, guilt, and discovering gratitude.About the Author

Sus tres primeras obras eran ficción, más tarde publicó Una vida de tres perros, las memorias con las que alcanzó la fama: seleccionado como uno de los mejores libros de 2006 por Los Angeles Times y The Washington Post, también ganó el Premio Inspirational Memoir 2006.
