Behind Locked Doors brings to light the taboo subject of what happens when someone suffers a severe traumatic brain injury taking her ability to talk, her memory, and ability to control emotions leaving someone who’s personality is no longer recognizable. Being placed in a residential treatment facility, Charlie "wakes up" one day 2 ½ years post injury realizing she is in a place she doesn’t know with strangers among her beginning to remember her former life, terrified and unable to express her thoughts. This is the journey of therapy behind locked doors of a residential facility, a place not everyone would like to talk about and hopes they will never have to look at. A story of Faith, Recovery, and Forgiveness

A look into brain injury from each point of view

This is a sweet story of loss and rediscovery. I wish it had been narrated by a human who could give inflection that the book deserves. AI is not ready to handle any of this. Characters are not delineated, words with multiple meanings and pronunciations are wrong. I only finished listening because of the novel. The different sides from the person affected and their loved one’s points of view. The AI might have been cheaper than a true story teller (narrator) but it deserves more. My suggestion is to buy the book and read it on your own.
