Beautiful Trauma : An Explosion, an Obsession, and a New Lease on Life
Rebecca Fogg
A compelling account of surviving a freak accident, & a fascinating exploration of the science of trauma & recovery.
Late one night, while Rebecca Fogg was alone in her apartment, her hand was partially amputated in an explosion. Quick thinking saved her life, but the journey to recovery would be a slow one. As the doctors rebuilt her hand, Rebecca (who also survived 9/11) began rebuilding her sense of self by studying the physical & psychological process of recovery.
Interspersing the personal with the medical, Rebecca charts her year of rehabilitation, touching on the marvelously adaptable anatomy of the hand; how the brain’s fight-or-flight mechanism enables us to react instantly to danger; & why trauma causes some people to develop PTSD & gives others a whole new lease on life.
Told with emotional & intellectual clarity, Beautiful Trauma is a celebration of the resilience of the human spirit & the wonder of the human hand.
