Between recruiting the best and brightest minds as the vice president of human resources at Berkley Consulting; shuttling the kids to soccer, day care, and piano lessons; convincing her sons teacher that he may not, in fact, have ADD; and making it home in time for dinner, its a wonder this over-scheduled, over-achieving Harvard graduate has time to breathe.
A self-confessed balloon about to burst, Sarah miraculously manages every minute of her life like an air traffic controller. Until one fateful day, while driving to work and trying to make a phone call, she looks away from the road for one second too long. In the blink of an eye, all the rapidly moving parts of her jam-packed life come to a screeching halt.
A traumatic brain injury completely erases the left side of her world, and for once, Sarah relinquishes control to those around her, including her formerly absent mother. Without the ability to even floss her own teeth, she struggles to find answers about her past and her uncertain future.
Now, as she wills herself to regain her independence and heal, Sarah must learn that her real destinyher new, true lifemay in fact lie far from the world of conference calls and spreadsheets. And that a happiness and peace greater than all the success in the world is close within reach, if only she slows down long enough to notice.

Review
"The journey Lisa Genova takes us on in LEFT NEGLECTED is a personal one, for any woman who's ever had to make a business call while driving to day care, or who finishes a full day's work at a high-powered job only to start the second shift as a mom: sometimes, we literally need a shock to the system to remember what matters the most in life. Remember how you couldn't put down STILL ALICE? Well, clear your schedule - because you're going to feel the same way." ----Jodi Picoult, NYT bestselling author of HOUSE RULES and SING YOU HOME
Lisa Genova is the Michael Crichton of brain science. What she proved with STILL ALICE, she proves again with LEFT NEGLECTED. This is huge, powerful human drama at its elegant best." ----Jacquelyn Mitchard, author of The Deep End of the Ocean
"From reading the first page prologue I knew I had a "winner" in my hands, and from there I couldn't put it down. Seldom does a debut author of a bestseller (STILL ALICE) surpass expectations with a second novel, but Genova puts it all out there in LEFT NEGLECTED." ----Carol Hicks, Bookshelf at Hooligan Rocks
"Lisa Genova has created a masterful follow-up to her highly-acclaimed debut novel, STILL ALICE. At times it is difficult for her audience to remember that LEFT NEGLECTED is a work of fiction, a figment of a very creative imagination. It is hard to put down and practically begs to be read in one sitting, as it lingers with the reader long after the last page is turned." ----Carole Turner, Bookreporter.com
`A sentimental but compelling read that reminds us that appreciating health is a no-brainer'
--The Lady 22/3
