The Man Who Lost Himself: The Terry Evanshen Story (Inscribed) - Callwood, June; Evanshen, Terry

INSCRIBED BY TERRY EVANSHEN on half title page; Clean, tight, unmarked; light crease to inside upper front corner; a few light creases to back cover; single crease to spine; otherwise very minimal wear; In 1988, when Terry Evanshen's Jeep was t-boned by a van running a red light, the CFL Hall of Famer sustained such severe brain damage it was a wonder he survived. When he finally came out of his coma, all of his memories - and his ability to retain new memories - were gone. He didn't recognize his family. He had no idea who he was. This book is Callwood's remarkable story of how Terry Evanshen has built a new life, one made possible by the steadfast love of his wife and daughters. It's a story that reveals the greatest of all mysteries about the brain - how the human spirit can survive the loss of identity.
