SPRINGFIELD, VT — Join Author Barbara Rubin on Zoom for a discussion of her book “More Than You Can See- A Mother’s Memoir” at 6 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 11.
At seventeen, Barbara’s daughter, Jennifer, is in a horrific car accident and sustains a traumatic brain injury that sends her into a two-week coma. Once she awakens, a unique disability presents itself: Jenn lacks any traditional method of communication. Unable to speak or function on her own, Jenn must relearn basic life skills in a rehabilitation facility while Barbara and her family struggle to piece together their lives, now forever changed.
Barbara’s early years were spent growing up in small towns in Kansas before her family ultimately settled in Missouri. After high school, she attended the local Junior College and later transferred to Truman University in central Missouri. It was there that she met her husband, Mark, and later earned her bachelor’s degree in business.
