"It's taken thirty-six years to tell my story and to heal from the trauma caused by a life-altering car accident where I incurred a traumatic brain injury," begins author Jodi Gilroy. At the tender age of eight, she was involved in a car accident that was fatal for some and life-altering for her. Her skull was fractured, leaving her brain exposed and polluted by the dirt and gravel from the road. Lacerations criss-crossed her face, and she was subjected to surgery after surgery to save her life-and then to save her face. Cosmetically damaged, she endured the scorn and bullying of other children, but no one ever addressed the fact that her brain had also been injured and that from that point forward, her life would be different.

Hairline Fracture is the compelling story of how Jodi overcame those limitations-she even earned her Master's degree from Michigan State University-to become an advocate for other traumatic brain injury survivors. The purpose of this book is to inspire people with unresolved physical and/or emotional trauma to seek their own emotional recovery, so they can live a fulfilling life and find peace. Just like Jodi does.
