Donna's world was turned upside down when her best friend, David, slipped into a coma. In a moment of unimaginable tragedy, Donna found herself thrust into the role of caregiver, taking on the responsibility of caring for the man she loved more than anything.

In her debut memoir, Donna shares the harrowing journey she and David embarked upon. She writes of the arrogance of doctors, the uncaring visitors, the insensitive ambulance drivers, and the problematic nurses who encountered them along the way.

Despite the overwhelming challenges, Donna is able to recount the many compassionate doctors, nurses, therapists, staff, strangers, family members, and friends who offered their support and assistance. She describes in vivid detail the difficult life-or-death decisions she had to make and how she found strength in the face of adversity.

One of the most striking aspects of Donna's story is her ability to maintain a positive outlook, even in the darkest of times. She credits laughter as her lifesaver, using it as a coping mechanism to navigate the overwhelming emotions she was experiencing.

Over 13 years later, Donna and David are living a new normal together. Their journey has been filled with ups and downs, but their love and resilience have carried them through. Donna's memoir is a testament to the power of friendship, love, and the human spirit in the face of adversity. It serves as a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope and the possibility of a brighter future.
