Rediscovering Life After a Stroke.
With its lucid, heartfelt prose, 'My Year Off' gives voice to the millions of people who suffer stroke. It is also a testament to the parallel trials and courage of the family members of stroke victims.
McCrum's memoir is not only a riveting account of his sudden illness, but of love being put under a real test. It's also a serious warning to workaholics, and a tremendously useful book for anyone who has ever been close to a stroke victim.
