What if you remembered things that never happened?
Or you forgot everything every few seconds?
Or one side of your body stopped working?
In Tell Me the Planets Ben Platts-Mills explores the fractured lives of
survivors of brain injury, providing an extraordinary glimpse into their daily
struggles to lead normal lives. With empathy and insight, he describes their
efforts to understand what has happened to them, avoid homelessness, help others
worse off than themselves and make risky, almost impossible medical decisions
about their futures.
Essential and inspiring, Tell Me the Planets will take you on a journey to the
frontiers of science and the limits of human resilience.
