In this luminous memoir, a Buddhist psychotherapist uses her understanding of suffering to confront her own trauma history, as she comes to terms with the truth of what happened to her in childhood. The book asks compelling questions about the aftereffects of injury and living with disability:

-Can a childhood accident permanently damage our psyche?

-Is it possible to heal from the physical and psychological wounds of trauma?

-Is the term "disabled" an indignity, or an identity to be embraced?

At age 2, Jeanne Malmgren suffered an injury that would scar her forever. Her story will inspire anyone who lives with a disability or has endured trauma of any kind. Good Eye, Bad Eye launches readers on an emotional roller coaster of shame, the poignant yearning to be "normal," and the author's eventual discovery of a spiritual path that brings her peace and acceptance. This is also a detective story as Jeanne searches for the truth of what exactly happened to her in childhood-a truth withheld from her by those who loved her most. The answer she finally uncovers is bittersweet.

Good Eye, Bad Eye is a primer on how the human brain struggles to handle overwhelming events, how therapists help their patients heal, and how the truth sets us free.
