Oliver Sacks' The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat tells the stories of individuals afflicted with fantastic perceptual and intellectual aberrations: patients who have lost their memories and with them the greater part of their pasts; who are no longer able to recognize people and common objects; who are stricken with violent tics and grimaces or who shout involuntary obscenities; whose limbs have become alien; who have been dismissed as retarded yet are gifted with uncanny artistic or mathematical talents.

Shannon Page is composed of multitudes: backwoods hippie child, nude model, trophy wife, unsuccessful realtor, and very successful editor. She’s been monogamous and polyamorous, vegetarian and carnivorous, poor and rich. And she’s always been a writer. Her essay topics range from personal growth, to relationship styles, to life on a remote island in the Pacific Northwest. Page also explores the pressing questions of life, like whether or not to have children, wear a bra, get a divorce, or pose for Playboy.

The book chronicles, in poetic form, the life of a woman who, in three distinct and significant life events, feels she is “the other woman” to her husband, to her child, and even to herself, rather than the woman who is “good enough” just as she is. Not until she loses her eyesight does she finally allow herself to stop putting herself aside and be who she always has been—a strong, insightful, creative, resilient, faith driven, funny, and fun-loving woman. A resurrected woman!
