Doing Up Buttons is Chris Durham's extraordinarily courageous and uplifting story of the realities of coming to terms with the lasting effects of head injury and grief at the loss of the person she was. Christine's recovery encompasses both deep despair and firm hope as she discovers that recovery is a complex process and has more to do with effort, acceptance, invention, love, understanding and re-learning than physical healing. If you have ever felt sorry for yourself, felt that life is too hard, that you're ready to give up, this is the book for you. Doing Up Buttons contains practical things to apply in everyday life to help you make the most of what you've got.
