In a single second, everything can change. At 28 Rhiannon Buckley is thrown into a waking nightmare when an aneurysm at the centre of her brain ruptures. Initially dismissed as a migraine by the doctors, she lives ten ‘ordinary’ days with an undiagnosed haemorrhage, her body slowly disconnecting from the world. When the hospital advises her to say goodbye, she can feel she is fading away – but what she doesn’t know is that the real work is just beginning.
Join Rhiannon on a rare and surprisingly witty adventure alongside her dying brain as it attempts to outsmart a shape-shifting bear, orders a Buddhist monk and tries to reattach to a life it once knew.
This is the remarkable story of one woman’s fight against acute neurological deterioration and her unexpected journey to find herself on the other side.
