I write a mix of books: novels, biography, short nonfiction under both Shireen Jeejeebhoy and Shireen Anne Jeejeebhoy. I set my novels in Toronto, my home for most of my life, a city of contradictions and ripe with conflict possibilities. My award-winning debut book, Lifeliner: The Judy Taylor Story, is set in Ontario, but also travels down to New York and across the pond to Sweden.
My life is one big question mark, has been ever since I sustained a closed head injury (or mild traumatic brain injury or concussion, whichever moniker is fashionable) in a four-car collision. But my writing keeps me grounded, my photography takes me to other places. I wrote about it and treatments I discovered in my revised memoir Concussion Is Brain Injury: Treating the Neurons and Me -- shortlisted in the 2018 Word Awards -- and I expanded on the learnings at https://concussionisbraininjury.com. My most recent non-fiction book Brain Injury, Trauma, and Grief: How to Heal When You Are Alone complements these two.
When I'm not writing, reading, taking photographs, I'm hunting for good coffee and sensational chocolate.
People who suffer deeply often turn to the Book of Job in the Bible. This book is about an innocent man who underwent great suffering: first he lost his assets, his children, all the things he held dear but his wife. Then he lost his health. He, once a prosperous pillar of the community, a faithful man of God, was reduced to sitting in the dust, covered in boils, helpless to help himself. Hearing of his great suffering, his friends came to sit with him. And there begins the real tale of Job.
And that is why people who suffer a crisis for no reason and then suffer cascading consequences from that crisis look to the Book of Job. They look there for an answer to that tough question: why do bad things happen to good people? It is unflinching in its answer.
But this book of prose and poetry is a long read and sometimes hard to understand. It's helpful to have a guide with you. This is mine for you.
