I wanted to take a moment to share with you how our book "The Lost Season" got it's name and cover.
When I was in my accident, the force from the boat to my brain put me into a deep coma. I was in a coma for 5 weeks during the months of September and October. I do not have any memory of this time, in fact I do not remember the time period from about one month before my accident to one month after my accident. The autumn season of the year 1990 was and forever will be lost to me in my life. Therefore, the name "The Lost Season" came to be.
As for the cover of our book... the autumn leaves obviously represent the autumn season that was "lost", but if you look closely, the middle object is a cocoon. Inside this cocoon is a figure of a person curled up into the fetal position. As I was deep in my coma and struggling to recover, Lynne was deep in her own cocoon struggling to emerge. But, if you turn the book over, you can see a butterfly with our family's four silhouettes making up the wings representing that our family has emerged from our dark cocoon into something more beautiful than before.
