New Book by Parksville Author, 88, Offers Hope After Brain Injury


(PQB News) – Jessica Elizabeth Taylor is sharing her story of recovery from a traumatic brain injury in her new book From Tragedy to Triumph: Reawakening My Broken Brain.

The 88-year-old Parksville resident says she healed her severely injured brain through studying — making slow, incremental progress for more than 15 years.

Taylor’s life changed forever when, at 31 years old, she fell down a dark flight of stairs and slammed her head into a steel-plated burglar-proof door, which erased her memory and her sense of identity. CONTINUE
