Product Description
On July 4, 1988, CFL Hall of Famer Terry Evanshen was a happily married father of three with a successful second career in sales. The day was sunny and hot, and Evanshen was driving his new Jeep Cherokee, heading home to join his family for a barbecue, when a van running a stoplight smashed into his vehicle.
For two weeks, Evanshen was in a coma, close to death. His brain had been bashed nearly surrounded by his skull and starved of oxygen for a crucial few moments. When he awoke, he did not recognize his wife Lorraine, or his daughters or his friends. He did not know who he was. Every memory of his life until the accident had been ruined, his ability to remember new things wiped out, and his personality largely annihilated. The football player who had fumbled the ball only three times in his fourteen-year career now may possibly not catch at all.
In The Man Who Lost Himself, June Callwood describes Evanshen’s slow, trying struggle to build a sense of who he is. The compelling tale she tells is about how the exceptionally strong like of his wife and daughters (and dog, Radical) helped Evanshen through long years of frustration and rage. It’s a tale about how the brain works and the effects of brain hurt on personality and identity. It’s a tale about how today Terry Evanshen is administration a third successful career, giving motivational speeches at conventions and company gatherings, telling his audience how he overcame perhaps the most immense hindrance anyone may possibly ever face.
The Man Who Lost Himself is a fascinating and inspiring and unflinchingly honest tale told by one of Canada’s most skilful and compassionate writers.
