One day Diane Ackerman's husband, Paul Smith, an excetionally gifted wordsmith and intellectual suffered a terrible stroke. When he regained awareness he was afflicted with aphasia- loss of language- and could utter only a single syllable 'mem'. This triumphant book details Diane and Paul's journey to find language again. This exquisitely written book is both ground-breaking for sufferers of stroke and aphasia and a powerful love story.
