Where Is the Mango Princess? - Cathy Crimmins

Humorist Cathy Crimmins has written a deeply personal, wrenching, and often hilarious
account of the effects of traumatic brain injury, not only on the victim, in this
case her husband, but on the family.

When her husband Alan is injured in a speedboat
accident, Cathy Crimmins reluctantly assumes the role of caregiver and learns to
cope with the person he has become. No longer the man who loved obscure Japanese
cinema and wry humor, Crimmins' husband has emerged from the accident a childlike
and unpredictable replica of his former self with a short attention span and a penchant
for inane cartoons. Where Is the Mango Princess? is a breathtaking account that explores
the very nature of personality-and the complexities of the heart.
