The wife's dramatic account of events. I don't like her so I have a hard time reading about her feelings. But the punctuation was great.

I purchased this book after hearing about it from a friend. My daughter suffered a traumatic brain injury 4 years ago and each day has its struggles but also has its blessings. I find reading books of similar experiences is like having your own support group. In this book it shows how life can change "In an Instant." It can happen to anyone. How you choose to deal with it is the challenge. Lee Woodruff explains the pain and suffering of not knowing if her husband will wake from a coma and remember her and their children. She also explains the pain of wanting to be with her husband during this heartbreaking event but also bears the burdon of trying to keep a home and be with her children. It is an event no one wants to experience but Lee handles it with style. Also included in this book are stories of world events narrated by Bob. You feel like you are right there during wars and conflicts while he is reporting. It is a wonderful book of courage, patience, and a lot of love. That is what gets us through our own life experience with our daughter. I highly recommend this book.Read full review
This is a wonderful book and I have purchased it five times to give to people who have undergone major changes in their lives, either happy, sad, or both. Everyone loves the book! I liked it because it focuses on a relationship between two very different and imperfect people who make a life together and have to deal with a very unexpected tragedy and an uncertain future. It is told candidly, and they pull no punches about their feelings of anger, disappointment,and frustration before, during, and after the accident. I particularly liked the dialogue from Leigh since as girlfriend, wife, and mother, her job was to take care of their home and children, while Bob was off in the world doing very exciting things. Her strengths are revealed during that time, and particularly after the accident. Mothers whose husbands travel a lot will understand and relate. Any couple will appreciate the honesty of two imperfect people with different roles to fulfill, going through life's events together. It is one of the best books I have ever read, and they don't gloss over the events in any sugar-coated Pollyanna fashion.Read full review
This had to be one of THE most moving books I've read in a long long time. Filled with so much emotion that you just wanted to hug this whole family but especially Lee. Her writing (and of course Bob's) was touching and made me realize just how much strength we as women have inside of us. I enjoy reading about true stories happening to real people (the good, the bad and the ugly!). I had read a portion of it in People magazine and eagerly awaited the arrival of the book. This is a must read for anyone and especially motivating!
