One typical morning, Sarah Nickerson, a woman in her mid-thirties, is late for work, racing in her car after dropping her kids off at school and daycare. She tries to phone in to a meeting she should already be at when she takes her eye off the road for a second too long. In that blink of an eye, all the rapidly moving parts of her over-scheduled life come to a screeching halt. Sarah suffers a traumatic head injury. Her memory and intellect are intact, but she has lost all interest in, and the ability to perceive, information coming from the left side of space. The left side of her world has gone. Sarah only eats the food from the right side of her plate. She can't see her watch, or her engagement diamond or her wedding ring. She tries to use a wheel chair but can only spin in circles as her left arm dangles by her side.

This should be required reading for families dealing with left neglect. My mother has left neglect after a massive stroke. She also has severe cognitive difficulties, so she is unable to explain her behavior. Numerous times while I was reading this book I would think "So that's why she does that!" Very accurate description of behaviors.

Good medical novel
Like "Still Alice", this book is loaded with facts about a medical condition. "Left Neglected" is about a rare condition which occurs after an auto accident.
Besides all the very interesting medical info, the story is well done. This was a selection from my Book Club. We all loved it and none of us had heard of the condition.
