Return: Stroke, Paralysis & Reflections on Recovery

by Wendy Roberts

Strokes often strike without warning, and that was the case for 48 year-old Ron Roberts. The popular TV weatherman never predicted the drastic change his life would take one January morning. His near-fatal brain bleed tested his will, his spirit, and his marriage. In her own words, Ron’s wife Wendy reveals some of the grim realities they confronted on the road to recovery in her first-ever book, Return---Stroke, Paralysis & Reflections on Recovery. In rehab, the word “return” refers to the body’s ability to recapture what was lost in a stroke. In this tender collection of reflections, Wendy shares their deep fear and strong faith. For anyone who has ever faced a health crisis, Return is the kind of story that reminds us we’re not alone, and inspires us to press on. Stroke is the number one cause of disability, and it’s this couple’s shared desire to make a difference in the lives of stroke survivors by donating a percentage of the proceeds from Return to the Scholars Ambucs program. This program provides financial resources for aspiring physical, occupational, and speech therapists. www.ambucs.org
