Samenvatting:

8 December 2011: I went to a small horse competition in the morning. That much I do remember. After that absolutely nothing... Surviving a near fatal brain injury brings a person face to face with the very basis of their identity. Some will be lucky and pick up their former lives with barely a missed step. Others will have everything that holds them to who they were stripped away by brain damage. When former Champion eventer Polly Williamson sustained a traumatic brain injury in a horrific incident with a young horse she was given a 33% chance of returning to life as a wife and mother. It severed her connection to her former self and for a long time it stole away her ability to care for her children. Polly was left struggling to relate to who she was. Brave and beautifully honest, Where did I go? is the powerful yet positive account of Polly's journey to rediscover the pieces of her identity, lost after a traumatic brain injury. With a special foreword by HRH The Princess Royal.
