A Stitch of Time: The Year a Brain Injury Changed My Language and Life
Lauren Marks was twenty-seven, touring a show in Scotland with her friends, when an aneurysm ruptured in her brain and left her fighting for her life. She woke up in a hospital soon after with serious deficiencies to her reading, speaking, and writing abilities, and an unfamiliar diagnosis: aphasia . . .
An excellent choice for fans of Susannah Cahalan's Brain on Fire and Jill Bolte Taylor's My Stroke of Insight, A Stitch of Time tells the incredible first-person account of one woman’s journey to regaining her language and identity after a brain aneurysm affects her ability to communicate.
