In 2013, while visiting her sister in the United States, Laurel
Kamada collapsed. Far from her husband, son, career, and home in
Japan, she spent the next few weeks in a coma from a stroke that
left a hole the size of a baseball in the center of her brain. In
this multicultural memoir, Kamada writes about her years of
recovery with a profound sense of grace, still seeing the beauty in
her life while not shying away from its many struggles. This
five-part memoir addresses the basics of strokes; an East-West
(Japan, U.S.) comparison of stroke, advice and help for the primary
caregivers and families of stroke survivors, and lessons on how to
improve systems of care and rehabilitation. Kamada also introduces
networking means and advice to help stroke survivors, their
families and friends, and professionals working in long-term care
facilities, such as nursing and rehabilitation staff.
