Overview

At 34, a man missed a red-light and every single thing about Murray Dunlap's life changed. Because of
the wreck, he was diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury; he spent three months in a coma, a year in a
wheelchair, and more using a walker. He was a married writer about to start a new career as an English
teacher, but their marriage could not survive the confusion and amnesia. When asked, he did not know
he was married.

Proof is an intimate journey from trauma to recovery and acceptance through love, faith, and
understanding. His poetry is a first-hand account of the pain of loss--of love, belief, and a former
life--the struggles of healing, and the uncertainty of starting over. It is a personal triumph celebrating
the joys of finding love and spirituality again. With poignantly honest and genuine poetry, Murray
Dunlap captures the beauty of strength and the transcendence of tragedy.
