Description: I had suffered a stroke at 15 years of age. As a result I am quadriplegic and speech impaired. I am now 37 years old. With my pointer held in my mouth as the input device and my computer I was able to write this book.
My goal in writing this book “Nathalie's story - Anatomy of a Stroke at Fifteen” is to make people realize that life is precious, and to not take it for granted, as it can change in a matter of seconds. I would also like to educate people in the avoidance of a stroke, and if it's too late; I'm hoping to help others deal with the daily life occurrences once someone has already had a physically debilitating stroke such as mine. Life goes on. Sometimes it seems as though love can move mountains; but I can assure you that determination and hope can also move those same mountains. If you've suffered a debilitating stroke, even though your life has changed, it is far from over. The key is to never give up hope.
