What do you see? A normal 27-year old? Perhaps a well-adjusted college graduate, maybe married? Or do you see a person who has been through a life-altering traumatic brain injury caused by a drunk driver? One who has spent more than 6 weeks in a deep coma, just above a vegtative state?

On January 18, 1997, Cara Atkins was hit head on by a heavily intoxicated driver as she drove to her home. The accident left more than her car in critical condition. Cara spent many months fighting against the odds and expectations of those who cared for her.

Today, as Cara continues to heal from the wounds that will likely affect her for the rest of her life, she and her mother Darlene seek to share their powerful story with others. Their hope is that through sharing their story they will motivate, inspire and educate others, about Traumatic Brain Injury and about the power of prayer, anointing for healing, and belief in miracles. They also provide a strong endictment against drunk driving and its toll of over 16,000 deaths.

Coma to College: The reconstruction of Cara Atkins from Severe Traumatic Brain Injury caused by a drunken driver is the chronicle of Cara's journey compellingly retold by author James Fairfield. Read what people are saying about the story, and find out more about James here.
