About this listen
When Abby Maslin's husband, TC, didn't make it home on August 18, 2012, she knew something was terribly wrong. Her fears were confirmed when she learned that her husband had been beaten by three men and left for dead mere blocks from home, all for his cell phone and debit card.
The days and months that followed were a grueling test of faith. As TC recovered from a severe traumatic brain injury that left him unable to speak and walk, Abby faced the challenge of caring for—and loving—a husband who now resembled a stranger.
Love You Hard is the raw, unflinchingly honest story of a young love left broken, and the resilience required to mend a life and remake a marriage. Told from the caregiver's perspective, this book is a daring exploration of true love: what it means to love beyond language, beyond abilities, and into the place that reveals who we really are.
At the heart of Abby and TC's unique and captivating story are the universal truths that bind us all. This is a tale of living and loving wholeheartedly, learning to heal after profound grief, and choosing joy in the wake of tragedy.
Critic Reviews

“Inspiring, touching, and beautifully written, Abby Maslin’s memoir is a testament to love, resilience, and choosing joy during the toughest times.”
—Maria Shriver, award-winning journalist and author of I’ve Been Thinking…

“A beautifully articulated and searingly honest memoir about so much more than one tragedy. Abby Maslin’s keen eye and unflinching introspection brilliantly illuminate the big and small moments that came with getting through her husband’s traumatic brain injury. If I had written a follow-up to my book about our family’s journey with TBI, it would share so many moments with Abby’s amazing exploration of resilience, marriage, family and understanding the gift of every single day.”
—Lee Woodruff, #1 New York Times bestselling author of In an Instant
