Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:

The book appeals to a diverse audience from his network fans to anyone who's suffered a stroke or their families. It also serves as an inspiring account of overcoming disability that anyone can relate to.
He alternates chapters telling about his life before the stroke and chapters of the stroke and rehabilitation. A pleasant enough read, but I'd also recommend My Stroke of Luck for those interested in celebrity stroke experiences.
Rated by buyers -
Mark McEwen's book is very insightful. In the past year three close friends have suffered a stroke and a relative has dealt with a stroke-like illness. Mark McEwen's book has helped me understand a bit more of what they have gone through, what they will go through and how I can help in their recovery. The book is well written, easy to read and I would highly recommend it.

HOW INCREDIBLY SAD THAT THIS HAD TO HAPPEN TO SUCH A WONDERFUL PERSON DUE TO PROFESSIONAL INNATTENTION.
THEY TOOK AWAY HIS TV PERSONA.
HOW GLAD I AM THAT HE AND HIS FAMILY ARE DOING MUCH BETTER SINCE 'THE WEATHER CHANGED'.
WHAT INCREDIBLY POSITIVE ATTITUDES THEY HAVE.
HE PROVES THAT HARD WORK WINS OUT.
HE IS AN INSPIRATION.

I often wondered what had happened to one of my very favorite TV personalities! Ironically, I have had several strokes over the past year and came across his book! I found it helpful and encouraging.

I had a cerebellar stroke in March, which caused this communications major and ex-Micrsoft college recruiter to become a disabled person who couldn't talk --overnight and very unexpectely, just like Mark..Mark's book is a good chronolgy of what that feels like and a good inspiration for recovery as he made a 100% comeback.
While I don't have his connections with Bill Cosby or presidents (and admire his newfound verve to use those contacts to get the word out about stoke), I share and admire his drive to recover - and that of his wife to support him...Stroke is not well known, we hear so often about cancer and heart attacks but it is the number one disabler - 455,000 americans will be struck by it this year, or one every 15 seconds...I had none of the prediposing symptoms (high blood pressure/smoker/family history/overweight) yet I still had a stroke and it has changed my life - just like it changed Mark's life into a recovering disabled person who had to learn to slow down and value a second chance at everything..we did not die and there is a distinct silver lining to stroke, which Mark's upbeat book chronicles...it was an easy read and a good boost...a profile in a different kind of courage for friends, family and Mark himself...Unlike many afflications, you CAN recover from stroke...it takes time and oomph.
