A refreshingly candid look into the experiences of stroke survivors, Emerging From the Dark by Terence Ang is both informative and inspiring. Arranged as a series of essays, the book uses original illustrations as a companion to the text in order to examine myriad topics faced by stroke survivors: physical and mental health, depression, loneliness, as well as the determination to get better and start a new life. Powerful and unabashed in its comprehensive overview of what people might face, this is a book for anyone who is struggling after a stroke and needs some inspiration, as well as for caregivers and family members who wish to better understand one of the most life-changing health conditions.

Terence Ang has written a wonderful book. Strokes can be debilitating or they can be dealt with in a way that allows people to continue to live happy and productive lives. He says it best: I want to raise awareness that anyone can suffer a stroke. I also want to tell fellow victims, as well as their caregivers and loved ones, that they are not alone. There is help and there is hope. I encourage anyone who has had a stroke, or has a loved one who has, to read this wonderful book. Paul Brandus Columnist for USA Today and Dow Jones/MarketWatch, acclaimed author and an award-winning member of the White House press corps
