I have read nothing in years that carried me on such a roller coaster of emotions. From tears and outright sobs, to uproarious laughter; from anger and frustration to the feelings I only experienced after winning in combat. Anyone with feelings should have the opportunity to be transported by this life experience. Brain Wreck will be a life changer for many. Its beneficial influence is a priceless gift.

Becky's memoir is more than a medical journey. It's an amazing telling of one person's persistence to find answers. And how often do each of us give up when we keep hitting the same wall? I salute Becky's courage to share her insecurities and personal challenges; you can't help but be affected by the highs, lows, frustrations and joys that she experienced. Her writing is excellent, and she tells the story just as she walked the journey - with humor, honesty and raw emotion.
