Thanks to Lynne Melcombe for her wonderful review of Impact: Women Writing After Concussion.

I love that Melcombe highlighted Julia Nunes and her fine essay, “The Next Hit.” It’s a piece that goes through my mind a lot as I have my “if-it’s-not-one-thing-it’s-another” illness going on.

Although Impact is about concussion, it’s also about everything. It’s about the next hit and how we face it, how we will adapt, and how we will keep going in the face of it all. My gratitude again to Julia and everyone who contributed to the book. All of these women have been my guides these past years. I know I’m not alone.
