Introduction

As Eileen Rudnick drove home after a long day at work in October 2000, her life became unexpectedly and forever altered - she was in a near fatal head-on collision. A rush to Shock Trauma saved her life, but the accident left her with severe traumatic brain injury. The Glass Between us is the step-by-step chronology of her recovery from severe traumatic brain injury, starting with the motor vehicle collision, through the time in coma, continuing with emergence, through rehabilitation, and ending in the present time. Eileen recounts the extraordinary story of her emergence from coma and the accelerated developmental processes she sped through to become a new and improved version of her former self.
