Bonni unpacks all the steps to recovery with lucidity, transparency, and wit. This inspiring memoir is a must-read for anyone seeking to overcome adversity.
-WANDA URBANSKA, host/producer of the PBS series, Simple Living with Wanda Urbanska and author of The Heart of Simple Living: 7 Paths to a Better Life
My Stroke in the Fast Lane: A Journey to Recovery begins on an Easter Sunday morning. While driving home on an interstate highway at 65 mph, Bonni had a stroke. Her 86-year-old mother, sitting in the passenger seat, grabbed the wheel and crashed them into a guardrail on the side of the highway.
Bonni's stroke left her unable to walk, talk, or swallow. And timing couldn't have been worse: her son was getting married in only eight weeks on Martha's Vineyard, where they had a country house for decades.
This profoundly moving memoir is about Bonni's recovery and resuming what she calls her magnificent life. Told with authenticity and honesty, her tenacity, perseverance, and humor see her through the darkness of Stroke Land. Bonni's courage and resilience take the reader on a compelling and inspirational journey.
