Historia
Encephalitis almost ended Chris Maxwell's life. The scar tissue in his brain and life with epilepsy made him - and his family and friends - feel like the life they'd known changed suddenly and permanently. For Maxwell and the staggering number of people facing traumatic brain injuries, epilepsy, or other painful encounters, life is experienced through a different lens.

What about Chris Maxwell’s performance did you like?
Sincere. Good speaker.
Any additional comments?
This is one of the few items on audible in regards to epilepsy. I wasn't expecting it to touch me as deep. You feel like you have just gone to group therapy. He understands the pain of looking at people going about their lives but not getting lost in that downward spiral of what was.

Historia
Tensions between the fae and humans are coming to a head. And when coyote shapeshifter Mercy and her Alpha werewolf mate, Adam, are called upon to stop a rampaging troll, they find themselves with something that could be used to make the fae back down and forestall out-and-out war: a human child stolen long ago by the fae.

Overall good, but final part distrubing

There is a buildup where Aidan is abused and then has to return to the abuser's land for the higher good. The issue is, knowing how the abuser had offed his fellow mates, and how unpredictable she was, he easily agreed to return after reverse psychology "I suppose you won't be returning...". It's not uncommon for the abused to identify with their toxic parents or overlook/dissociate from it. Other than that, it was a good read. I preferred the previous one where Coyote and Laughing Dog were introduced. I do hope they come back.

Historia
On a summer night in 2009, three lives intersected in one American neighborhood. Two people newly in love - Teresa Butz and Jennifer Hopper, who spent many years trying to find themselves and who eventually found each other - and a young man on a dangerous psychological descent: Isaiah Kalebu, age 23, the son of a distant, authoritarian father and a mother with a family history of mental illness. All three paths forever altered by a violent crime, all three stories a wake-up call to the system that failed to see the signs.

I can only imagine the time and costs this author has incurred in order to shed light on a real societal problem. And risk of harassment. When reading this, I remember so many cases of similar situations where those with nueropsychiatric illnesses suffered and caused suffering. And yet the state and the legal system is biased (think of law students who pass the bar but then denied to practice because of their mental illnesses - even when treated). Bipolar, schizophrenia, temporal lobe epilepsy - these are severe brain disorders that affect energy, mood, appetite, sleep, thought. The court transcripts continuously misinterpret the defendant here as having volition in his various communications (not just the criminal act itself). Tragedy could have been prevented if these illnesses were openly discussed in a manner as cancer or any other illness is discussed to get at the root of the problem.
