While I found this book interesting it would be most disappointing if I were someone looking for real answers. If someone is looking for real recovery then I would recommend a book called Peeling the Onion:
Reversing the Ravages of Stroke. In 2000 my grandmother had a stroke which left her paralyzed, unable to roll over in her bed and unable to speak. Long-short, I took a shot and took her to this clinic where, in less than a week she and I were again having two-way conversations and she could transfer herself from the car to the wheelchair. By the time we went home she was walking 400 feet with a walker. Strokes change families but they don't have to be permanently debilitating. If you are looking for help for the stroke and not just a book to read, you might want to order it. Thank God for Dr. Hammesfahr and his stroke therapy!Peeling the Onion: Reversing the Ravages of StrokePeeling the Onion: Reversing the Ravages of Stroke

Having recently had a loved one who has suffered a devastating stroke, this book was so helpful in every aspect of what to expect on this very long journey to recovery. It was easy to read and to understand and I would highly recommend it to any family or caregiver who is going through this process with a loved one.

Overall, a solid book, but could be a lot more comprehensive. It just doesnt cover all of the issues. (I was still left with questions).
I recommend the book by Joel Stein, MD, called Stroke and the Family, which is very understandable, but has more information.

My mother had a stroke recently. Her physician recommended this book, which we found very helpful. I would recommend it to any family who is doing through such a crisis.

This a book that will give you an overview of the main causes of stroke and what to expect as of "The Day After". A good source of "initial" information after you or a loved one had just had a stroke. This book is for a family member suffering from sleepless nights on the waiting room while the stroke patient is in the Intensive Care Unit or those who have just woke up after a stroke and still lack basic info. The information provided by the book is useful, but most of it is already available in the many stroke reference sites throughout the internet. If you already have some education about the topic, this is not the book for you.
