The intimate, life-affirming journey of recovery and rehabilitation
from a major stroke, written by one of morning television's most
beloved personalities
Mark McEwen was at the top of his game and enjoying life when he
suffered a stroke. After fifteen years on "The Early Show," he had
moved to Orlando to anchor the local news and spend more time with
his family. While traveling, he experienced symptoms that led him
to a hospital, where he was misdiagnosed with the flu. Two days
later, on an airplane flight just hours before he finally
collapsed, flight attendants and airport staff dismissed his
slurred speech and heavy sweating. Misinformation not only delayed
his treatment, but it also nearly cost him his life.
Now, in a candid and moving memoir, America's beloved morning-show
weatherman recalls his harrowing journey of rehabilitation from a
massive stroke. "After the Stroke" traces his recovery in the
aftermath of temporarily losing some of his greatest gifts- his
talent as a public speaker, and his warm, witty exuberance-while
his wife worked valiantly to care for their children as well as her
seriously ill husband. Sharing an ultimately triumphant story,
McEwen emerges as one of our most dynamic new crusaders for stroke
victims and their families.
