Really, you can't go wrong with Elizabeth Berg...she writes so descriptively that you are drawn into the book immediately. This wasn't my most favorite book of hers, but the story presents many different situations that will be interesting to discuss for book clubs. Imagining what you might choose to do, or how you would react if something occurred in your own life is always a great way to start a discussion. We have had several instances when our discussions led to some very personal stories being shared.

Range of Motion examines traumatic brain injury as any non-medically trained person would...overall shock, abject fear, trying to resume a "normal life", just being confronted with the overwhelming possibility that your spouse could be rendered unresponsive and might never regain any semblance of the life you were sure you were living that very morning...the author takes you through all of that and more, even giving us a glimpse of what's happening within the husband's mind as he struggles to come back to his former self. The dialogue is extremely realistic and true to life.
