What does it feel like to have a stroke?

How do you move forward in a body that will never be the same?

Having a stroke is one of most people’s worst fears. But the truth is a stroke is a common medical issue.

Most of us have no real idea what a stroke feels like or what it takes to recover from one. Our fear often has us pull away from people who most need our help and support. Even medical professionals often fail to fully grasp what it takes to recover from a stroke or how much energy and grit that journey takes.

In his first book, A Cry in the Dark, author Terence Ang shared his moving story of stroke recovery with us.

In this new book, Emerging from the Dark, Ang has assembled a collection of moving stories from people in all stages of stroke recovery. In these pages, you will find tales of unimaginable courage and determination.

Most of all, these are stories of fighters. These are people who reject the idea of being a victim. Instead, they are fighting with everything they have to return to a normal daily life, even if the new normal is different from their old normal.

This book will change the way you see people recovering from strokes!

These are positive people with positive stories. They don’t want or need pity—they just want their stories to be heard.
