The book presents an intimate tapestry of lives at different stages of stroke recovery, revealing tales of tremendous courage and resolve. These are not victims but fighters, individuals battling tenaciously to regain their daily lives, however altered their "new normal" might be. This enlightening book shifts perspectives on stroke recovery, emphasizing positive outlooks and a rejection of pity. It is a call to listen to these remarkable stories. Through his inspiring personal journey and his continued work on his third book, Terence Ang's story stands as a symbol of hope, strength, and the transformative power of adversity.
