When Doris Brett's fit and healthy 59-year-old husband Martin had a
stroke, they were unexpectedly thrown into a journey of discovery.
What began as a minor stroke turned into a golf-ball sized blood
clot on his brain, followed by a life-threatening heart condition.
Later, Doris learned that she carried the potentially deadly BRCA1
genetic mutation. Due largely to Doris' research into brain
plasticity and the neurotherapy techniques she implemented,
Martin's recovery was exceptional and he has now returned to all of
his pre-stroke activities. The Twelfth Raven is a literary journey
through a series of crises and is an inspirational story of
recovery after stroke. Doris Brett's brave and unflinching memoir
offers hope to the hundreds of thousands of people affected by
stroke through the active intervention Doris conducted and the
excellent results that were achieved. *** Praise for Doris Brett's
previous memoir, Eating the Underworld: "Extraordinary...Its
bravery, irony, humour and intelligence - everything shines through
the transparent prose...a remarkable literary voice, or melding of
three voices - the autobiographical, the poetic, and the
allegorical." -- Dr. Oliver Sacks
