This book targets children between the ages of 8-12 who, without any preparation and at a very young age, have been confronted by their mother or father coming home from their military service with a brain injury. Because brain damage is so often invisible, these children are confronted with an especially difficult reality. Although their parent is home from combat and may look like he or she did before deployment, mom or dad does not act or behave the same way they did prior to deployment.

Easy Street
As part of Neurorehab Associates, "Easy Street" offered rehabilitation opportunities to brain injured patients to experience a real world setting as part of their therapy. The street, located inside the rehabilitation center included a car, a small grocery store, a restaurant and a home.
In order for Easy Street to be installed, a car was lifted by a crane into the second story window of Neurorehab, and gently brought in through a large window.
