Jill Taylor is studying the brain. She was trained at Harvard and is 37 years old. Most people would be caught unaware by a stroke, but Jill is almost fascinated when it happens to her. Because of her background, she is able to summon help before it's too late.
There are a few chapters I skipped over - too much scientific information! But the rest of the book is fascinating. Her descriptions are a wake-up call for anyone involved with stroke patients. She hopes to change attitudes toward people who are brain-injured. The awareness of how we respond to emotions has made a change in how Jill lives her life - and it can be a wake-up call to all of us.
