Pownal Street Press is excited to unveil the cover of Forget Regret. Forget Regret: A Memoir of Embracing Transformation after a Traumatic Brain Injury will be released in spring of 2025 and is written by Kamya Rilling.
When an unexpected accident altered everything for sixteen-year old Kamya Rilling, life was just beginning. Finding herself in a hospital bed with partial paralysis due to a traumatic brain injury, Kamya faced an uncertain future. Forget Regret is a powerful memoir that brings readers into the raw, unfiltered experience of a young person grappling with physical, mental, and emotional upheaval. Through setbacks and small victories, Kamya returns to high school and on to university, and discovers not only her inner strength, but the transformative power of community, and the courage to rebuild a new, unexpected path forward.
More than just a story of survival, Forget Regret is a story of perseverance, individuality, and human connection. It serves as an inspiring reminder that the road to healing isn’t straight, nor is it one that must be traveled alone.
