Summary: PHENOMENAL!
Comment: On the 1 year anniversary of my own brain injury, I wanted to salute the 1 and ONLY book that made sense to me on my journey! I'll Carry the Fork! is written easily, yet not condescendingly. It is written with compassion and humor. It is honest and insightful. Most importantly, it has given me the courage to know that I am not alone!
I wanted to write to Kara and let her know immediately last summer how much her book meant to me. Instead, like a crazed rock star fan, I tracked her down at a conference. I met her, cried with her, laughed with her, hugged her, thanked her and have become great friends with her!
Kara's book has supported not only myself, but my family as well. Thank you, Kara! You have written the one and only book one needs on their journey through traumatic brain injury!
I, too, am carrying a fork......PROUDLY!

Summary: made me laugh and cry at the same time
Comment: I've never read a book that has made me laugh and cry at the same time. Whether you know someone with a closed head injury or another type of disability, "I'll Carry the Fork" will give you a new understanding of the challenges that these people face everyday. The most simple task can be overwhelming to a person with a closed head injury and Kara has done an outstanding job in teaching the reader how she copes with the physical and mental challenges of everyday life.

Summary: I'll Carry the Fork!
Comment: It's amazing that Kara has been through so much yet remains adamant to keep her life as "normal" as possible. Her motivation to help others through sharing her hardships and lessons-learned is truly inspiring. She enlightens those who are not aware of the day-to-day struggles that people with closed head injuries endure.
Kara has compiled an effective "guide book" for others, who like her, have experienced this life-changing injury. She describes the road to recovery as painfully slow and full of unexpected "potholes", and the importance of celebrating each of the small successes along the way.
We've given copies of this "survival" book to friends who have a family member who may be the victim of both head injury and the ignorance of others about this. Hopefully, they will be inspired and comforted by her candidness and her triumphs.
Through her delightful humor and dogged determination, Kara brings hope to many. We wish her continued success on her courageous journey!
