Saving the Subject: How I Found You When I Almost Lost Me - Paperback

by Jd Cameron M. Fathauer (Author)

In his debut book, "Saving the Subject," Cameron Fathauer paints a spiritual odyssey following his traumatic brain injury with vividness and vulnerability, capturing both the weight of his physical trials and the depth of his reflections.

Previously aspiring to be a minister, Fathauer's path was radically altered when he was hit by a car as a pedestrian, steering him to the legal profession and reshaping his identity journey. Beyond the author himself, the narrative features an unexpected array of characters including triplet toddlers, legal scholars, and the infamous "Unabomber."

More than a memoir, this remarkably layered work engages the identity question through a smorgasbord of distinct but ingeniously connected themes of trauma, family, and faith. To discover how these elements weave together, you'll have to explore the pages yourself. Fathauer has taken a leap of faith by publishing a book that, quite literally, puts his darkest moments on public display. Yet he does so with the confidence that this open-book vulnerability will illuminate a deeply personal and transformative light for his readers as it has for himself.
