Publisher's Summary

Following up on her international best seller The Zookeeper's Wife, Diane Ackerman tells the breathtaking story of the stroke that deprived her husband, Paul West - a distinguished novelist and poet - of every scrap of language beyond the syllable "mem". In her characteristically glorious prose, Ackerman weaves together the latest science on stroke and the brain’s ability to store and process language with her intensely personal journey as caregiver in helping Paul to an extraordinary recovery, and the impact of all this on their decades-long marriage.

Similarities to my own experience.

The uncertainty encountered during a life-changing event like this, and the ways we find to cope and adjust. The author described her experience so vividly, while no doubt keeping their closest moments her own. She did a great job conveying the frustrations and successes of their journey.
