My Stoke of Insight by Jill Bolte Taylor is an amazing little book. Jill is a neuroanatomist (brain scientist) at Harvard when at the age of 37 she suffered a severe stroke. Over the next 8 years she slowly recovered. Using her knowledge of the brain, and her now hard earned special insights she relates in a relatively easy terms what it is like to have a stroke, to recover, and what we can do as friends and relatives to help that person. It is a wonderful book and well worth the read if you know anyone who has had a stroke and are lost on what to do or how to interact.
Highly recommended!
