Illustrated with photographs. In October 2011 James Crachnell, two-time Olympic gold-medal rower and one of the greatest endurance athletes the world has ever known, suffered a seizure at home as his young son looked on in horror.

It had smashed into the back of his head at high speed, causing severe frontal lobe damage. The doctors weren'e sure if he would recover and, if he did, whether he would ever be the same again. This is an extraordinary, honest and powerful account as James and his wife Bev confront for the first time the lasting effects that the accident has had on their lives. With Index.
