Reviews
"Like A Bolt" has been the supreme piece of literature on the subject that I had yet to read. I have been given a lot of "professional" literature on stroke and help for caregivers, none of them gave me anything I really needed and wanted. In fact, "Like A Bolt" as I see it, is the definitive work on the experience of stroke and in some real sense turned me around....Charles McCoy, Va.Beach,Va. Your humorous inspirational struggle through tragedy will touch anyone who reads this...Elon Perlin When I became my Mom's caretaker, I wished someone had handed me this book. I could have understood everything. Trial and error is hurtful on both sides...Wendy Sessler.
