You have to read this book. Right now, go to the library or bookstore and get yourself a copy of this book. Sit down and begin to read.

The book was written by Julia Fox Garrison. Julia suffered a stroke on July 17, 1997 that changed her life. She was a software support manager and now she is a motivational speaker.

I read about her in last week's People Magazine. I filed the name of her book into my memory and went on my way. Then, this past week, during my normal library visit, there was her book on the new non-fiction shelf. I knew I had to pick it up and I knew I had to review it.

Julia has gone through an experience I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Worst than that, she, while trying to stay postitive to get well, is accused of suffering from denial by her caretakers -- doctors and nurses. She finds that she can trust them to truly care for her and her needs.

This book puts you in the driver's seat. She has written nearly the entire book in second person (I think that's what its called). Anyway, I highly recommend that you read this book. If you're not grateful for all that you have when you're done reading it, read it again.

Happy Reading!
