    Hi everyone,

    My friend is about to undergo a surgery that will essentially put them on bed rest for over a month.

    This person was a very serious athlete and extremely active until a debilitating injury that has changed their lives permanently. Not only will they need this surgery— they will no longer be able to partake in many of the activities that were their passions pre-injury. It’s a really sad situation and though they’re putting on a tough front, I know they’re struggling.

    That said, I am putting together a recovery gift basket for them to enjoy after surgery. I’m looking for some books that might comfort my friend during this time— inspirational memoirs (perhaps about someone’s experience after a traumatic injury or life altering event), books with themes of overcoming physical/mental road blocks, or just cozy fiction to take their mind off of it.

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions. I really appreciate this little community!
