Impossible?

by Matthew Brewster

“His parents need to know he won’t leave this hospital alive.”

Seventeen and perfectly healthy one moment and the next I was unconscious on the floor. Soon we learned that I had suffered a massive and likely fatal brain bleed. Though I was given little to no chance of surviving, much less fully recovering, I have accomplished many things which were deemed impossible.
Over the course of my journey since that morning, I have questioned the usefulness of the word “impossible.” These are the stories of the impossibilities I have faced and the lessons I have learned.

[Sue · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book starts with a life-changing medical crisis, but what really stays with you is everything that comes after—the slow, frustrating, often discouraging process of getting even the smallest parts of life back. The chapters break down each challenge in a way that makes you feel the repetition, the setbacks, and the small wins that actually matter. There are moments that are uncomfortable to read because they’re so honest about failure, embarrassment, and wanting to quit, but that’s exactly what makes it real. By the end, it doesn’t feel like a story about beating the odds—it feels like a story about showing up every day when it would be easier not to.

A powerful account of rebuilding a life from the ground up, Impossible? Nah. takes readers inside the daily fight to regain what was lost—and the determination it takes to keep going when progress feels out of reach. Honest, unfiltered, and deeply relatable, this book reveals that “impossible” is often just the beginning.
