Life can change in an instant. Sickness, such as a heart attack or stroke, can instantly change language, mobility and lifestyle and life itself. Such is the case with Nir Peled. A devastating stroke at age 49 left him on the floor, unable to move or speak. Yet this is an inspirational memoir, filled with hope, grit and determination. Nir had to remember that he was still the same person inside. As he recovered, Nir fought through anger and depression to became a deeper, more compassionate and stronger person, teaching himself and others about hope, resilience and gratitude. This is a beautiful read.
