Allan Little, Sheena McDonald & Gail Robinson at the Edinburgh International Book Festival
Twenty years ago, broadcaster Sheena McDonald was hit by a police van, narrowly escaping death. Her recovery led one doctor to describe her as ‘a walking miracle’. In her book Rebuilding Life after Brain Injury, she recalls the accident and its aftermath. Her husband Allan Little movingly describes his role in her recovery and neuropsychologist Gail Robinson, her rehabilitation specialist, shares professional insights. In this event, filmed live at the 2019 Edinburgh International Book Festival, they discuss their remarkable story with fellow author Gavin Francis.
