Praise for Awake from Darkness

"A moving and inspirational story."
―Melissa Bourbon, National Bestselling Author

"What begins as a nightmare transforms into a love story for the ages. Tom and Mary Parker relate the story of their modern-day miracle as they fight back from Mary's traumatic brain injury. The reader is led through the agonizing fear of someone awakening with absolutely no memory of her previous life and relationships. Just as heartbreaking is the experience of the husband and caregiver whose wife of years has no recollection of their shared past or feelings of love. This is a story of two Christian souls who reforge their lives and marriage to be even more satisfying than before their tragedy."
-Dr. Richard Martin, MD

"Such a heartfelt insight into the secret struggle of a brain injury victim trying to reestablish the connections to a life she once knew. Tom and Mary's journey to rekindle a forgotten marriage and to establish a new normalcy was enlightening to me as a healthcare advocate. I felt their tangible pain and frustration to navigate through a very "gray" area of science. Certainly a must read!"
