Review:

Harvard Business School graduate, and vice president of human resources at Berkeley Consulting , attractive, young mother of three, married to the man of her dreams, Sarah Nickerson succeeded in all her ambitions.

Sarah admits her clockwork scheduled life is stressful, sleep is only a longed for luxury, and her children seem endlessly demanding.  But she could not see wasting her education and giving up her high powered job to be a stay at home mom.  Bob works for a high-tech start-up company and the family is just waiting for the big bucks to come in.

In the meantime, Sarah and Bob have it all; a designer home, expensive cars, a vacation home for getaways.  Situated in Welmont, an affluent suburb of Boston, seven-year old Charlie, and five-year old Lucy attend the Welmont Elementary School; nine-month old, Linus spends his time in daycare. 

However, on one seemingly normal morning, within a flash of a second, a careless mistake changes everything.

 

The author focuses on family, relationships and expectations, love and forgiveness and offers substantial information on the impairment.
