Sarah Nickerson, a working mother of three, wants to make time for everything—and she does! But her life, planned down to the minute, changes in an instant… After an accident, the woman suddenly has even too much free time. In medical terms, the consequences of her injury are called unilateral spatial neglect—meaning that for a patient with the neglect syndrome, the left side of the space “doesn’t exist.” Now the most important thing is to learn to perceive the world anew, and that requires massive inner work. Sarah has to reassess both her capabilities and her relationships with loved ones, to rethink the essence of many things and concepts.
And she finds the courage to admit: in fact, you really can ignore what once seemed so important—and be happy even in the hardest circumstances.
