On February 19th, 2011, Frank Hegyi's daughter noticed him staring fixedly at his newspaper, with a vacant look in his eyes. What she was witnessing was the sudden impact of a cerebral stroke that would change his life forever. In a moment, Hegyi was transformed from a thriving academician, professional and family man to a patient struggling first just to live, then to regain the basic capacities of movement and language that his wife had been told by doctors would never return. This is the story of Hegyi's battle to overcome the debilitating effects of his stroke. But it is not a book just for those who have experienced strokes personally or in a loved one: it is a book that will inspire ANYONE with the courage and determination available to all of us to triumph over even the greatest adversities.
