Andrea Buchanan lost her mind while crossing the street one blustery March morning.
The cold winter air triggered a coughing fit, and she began to choke. She was choking on a lot that day.
A sick child.
A pending divorce.
The guilt of failing as a partner and as a mother.
When the coughing finally stopped, she thought it was over.
She could not have been more wrong.
When she coughed that morning, a small tear ripped through her dura mater, the membrane covering the brain and spinal cord.
In this luminous and moving narrative, Andrea reveals the astonishing story of this tumultuous year--her fraught search for treatment; how patients, especially women, fight to be seen as reliable narrators of their own experiences; and how her life-altering recovery process affected both her and her family.
