The Long Run: My Son's Inspired Journey Through Traumatic Brain Injury

The long run began the night of June 13, 1999 when 18-year-old Jonathan Whitlock wrapped his car around a telephone pole. That was also the night that his mother began writing of the ordeal in her journal. Soon thereafter, she began writing updates to family and friends. It is with this unique and heart-rending perspective that Jonathan's journey through a five-month coma and traumatic brain injury is shared with the reader. Sprinkled throughout the book are original paintings by Jonathan that reflect the different stages of recovery. Annette's love of music is also evident in the lyrics found throughout the book. So is the family's faith that shines through the darkness of despair and the tears of tragedy. This intimate account has a clear message: Take whatever faith you have and allow it to help you navigate the trials of life, for "When we can get past the why and the when questions, peace of mind fills the spaces left behind in the heart and soul."
