Stroke hits people of all ages.

Stroke:Brian-Assault is the story of one woman's experience of an aneurysm stroke. The book chronicles the years following her stroke and provides techniques she used in her recovery. Five years after her stroke, Ms. DePaz went back to graduate school and completed her MBA degree.

This book is for people who love or work with someone who has suffered a stroke. It is also for people who have the tenacity and desire to affect their own stroke recovery. Frame of mind is very important - focus on the future instead of mourning what's been lost, and make efforts, no matter how small, that bring back independence.
