Amanda’s Fall

Reviewed by Lydia Dehning (age 6) for Reader Views Kids (3/20)
Amanda’s Fall: A Story for Children About Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) by Kelly Bouldin Darmofal is the story of a little girl named Amanda who is at school in first grade. Amanda likes to play with her friends outside at recess, they like to pretend like they are horses. One day at recess, Amanda rolls down a hill and hits her head on a rock.

I learned a lot about my head from this book. I like the story and how I learned something from it. This will be a good book for anyone to read, especially little kids.

Amanda can’t see the teacher well, she can’t talk to her well, and she starts to shake. Amanda gets taken to the hospital and her parents come, too. At the hospital, Amanda learns that she had a concussion, which is when your head gets hits really hard and your brain moves around. Amanda will have to be careful as she grows up because her concussion might cause problems for her at school. She will also need to be really careful with her head by wearing a helmet while riding her bike and when playing sports like baseball or t-ball. I hope I never get a concussion, and I’ll protect my head by wearing a helmet while I ride my bike and be careful when I play. I learned a lot about my head from this book. I like the story and how I learned something from it. This will be a good book for anyone to read, especially little kids.

A Note from Mom: Lydia didn’t know anything about concussions or hurting your head. From “Amanda’s Fall,” I think she is able to picture what’s going on easier now than if I were to explain it to her. Coming from an author who has experienced a severe head injury, she presented the information appropriately for her target audience. I also like the extra resources in the back of the book, such as symptoms of a concussion and facts about brain injuries. A well-done book

Are You Ready to Reboot Your PTSD?

Reboot! Confronting PTSD on Your Terms offers
a well-structured method for getting a grip on
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and starting
to turn it around. Detailed inventories provide
the opportunity to explore needs, both
physical and emotional, both needs that are met
and those that are unmet.

Powell recommends doing one's own work with
these inventories to maximize the effectiveness
of therapy. He covers a brief overview of many
trauma treatments, including the one he chose.


If you're a trauma survivor, Reboot! will help you:

Build self-reliance

Take inventory of your condition

Learn about rebuilding mental health from the foundation up

Examine a range of treatment options

See PTSD as a manageable condition

Chart your progress


David Powell says:

"Don't be fooled by what you hear. PTSD is not a medical condition.
And... with the right therapeutic approach, it is completely reversible!"


Acclaim for REBOOT!

"David Powell offers a simple but effective workbook for traumatized veterans
and others suffering the effects of traumatic events to take stock of their
situation. He sees this, as well as working to address unmet needs, as key
steps in addressing and resolving trauma. His aim is to assist the user of this
workbook to regain a sense of progress and achievement. A job well done."
