Write That Down: You are Powerful

WHAT IF THE WORST DAY OF YOUR LIFE BECAME THE BEGINNING OF YOUR GREATEST PURPOSE?
On an ordinary Friday afternoon, twenty-year-old Shawn “NEEM” Crosby stepped onto Route 175 expecting
to finish another day at work. Seconds later, he was struck by a vehicle, thrown forty feet, and airlifted to the
R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center. For twenty-one days, he lay in a coma while his family wondered if
he would ever wake up. When he finally opened his eyes at Kernan Hospital, nothing about his life would
ever be the same.

In Write That Down: You Are Powerful, Shawn shares the remarkable true story of rebuilding a life after a
traumatic brain injury, a devastating brachial plexus injury that left his dominant arm paralyzed, multiple
surgeries, chronic nerve pain, substance-induced psychosis, addiction to pain medication, heartbreaking
setbacks, and the long road to recovery. Along the way, you’ll meet the family members, medical professionals,
friends, and loved ones who refused to give up on him—even when he couldn’t see a future for himself.
