Locked In, Locked Out  by Shawn Jennings, M.D., an autobiographical account of his battle to recover from brain-stem stroke.

From the book cover of “Locked In, Locked Out” by Shawn Jennings, MD

  Dr. Shawn Jennings' inspiring story is one of determination, strength, love and overcoming adversity that reminds us that anything is possible when you set your mind to it and believe in a dream. It also emphasizes the necessity for continued support for research into finding a cure so people, like Shawn, might have the opportunity to walk away from brain and spinal cord injury.
