This poignant and life-changing book, “Sunrise: Life After Traumatic Brain Injury,” was featured in the November issue of The New York Times Book Review (NYTBR), a weekly paper magazine supplement to the Sunday edition of The New York Times (an American daily newspaper with a worldwide readership reported in 2020 to be a growing 6 million paid digital subscribers). It is one of the most well-known and significant book reviews in the business.

 The author’s book is highly praised by Philip Zozzaro of the US Review of Books. It is highlighted as “an inspiring memoir where the author writes about a truly painful experience that nearly destroyed her life. The trauma of her accident and the harrowing days that followed left scars that lingered long past the darkness of that September day. Abello candidly reflects on her journey over the last two decades as her emotions run through a continual gauntlet, each accomplishment followed by a new challenge. The reader will not only be following on but rooting for her to succeed as the story nears its end. The author’s book is not merely a survival story but also a guide for emotional recovery from a near-death experience. Abello’s words will strike a chord with those who have experienced similar circumstances or know someone who has.”
