“The Evergreen Outside My Window” by Donna Budzenski

From Amazon.com:

The Evergreen Outside My Window is the true story about speech-language pathologist Donna Budzenski, trained to work with clients of all ages with communication disorders, who, in 2007, has a sudden stroke. The result of this event leaves her paralyzed on the right side of her body. Her ability to recall words, communicate, read, and write is severely diminished.

Step by step, Ms. Budzenski takes the reader through arduous journey: from the night of the stroke, on to the emergency room, the rehab center, Mayo Clinic and finally home. She describes each hurdle she encountered and those who supported her through her self-doubt and fears of a bleak future. This is a story of triumph.
