Impact: A Memoir of PTSD
True account. On a sunny spring morning, Jane Ann McLachlan was driving her daughter, Caroline, newly home from university, on a routine errand. Their affectionate banter was suddenly broken when a jeep barreled into their car. The impact trapped McLachlan in the car with multiple injuries and resulted in severe PTSD. McLachlan takes us on a deeply personal, immediate, and emotional journey through PTSD.

True account. The author is with them in their most intimate, painful, and hopeful moments as they try to recover, and in doing so, he creates an indelible, essential portrait of what life after war is like―not just for these soldiers, but for their wives, widows, children, and friends, and for the professionals who are truly trying, and to a great degree failing, to undo the damage that has been done.
