This is an extraordinary true story about how a man, Frank Head and his community spent years supporting his wife Phyllis as she was in and out of an undiagnosed coma. Because of this care and Frank's dive into science to figure out how to help her, Phyllis not only survives but completely heals. The book skillfully toggles between how they met and became a couple during their youthful adventures into the wilds of Mexico and the history of her illness. It is an amazing and frank story beautifully told about the pursuit of a meaningful life in both youth and much later in crisis. I was absolutely riveted and highly recommend it!
