Customer Reviews

Insightful and informative

Dr. Shawn Jennings could have written an analytical medical account of what happened to his life when he suffered a brain stem stroke. How wonderful that he opted to go far beneath the surface. What makes this book fascinating reading is Shawn's insightful and candid descriptions, no holds barred, as he confronted each challenge and change that came with being locked out of his former life and locked into a new one. Most of all this is a book of hope because Shawn is honest about his denial,anger and frustrations; yet his spirit of survival, humor and warmth is what shines through. This is a book everyone will find inspiring.

Fantastic book !

Very easy read. Very informative. My son had a stroke and I read this book to him. We both enjoyed what the author had to say and how he wrote it. I'm glad we read it.

Excellent Book!

This book was lent to me by my sister-in-law. Her mother suffered a couple of strokes, none as devastating as Shawn's. Once I picked up this book I couldn't put it down. Even though he is a doctor he doesn't talk in "doctor talk". He is down to earth, funny, and very honest. This book is great for the stroke surviver, caregiver or just the curious. A definite must read!
