In this unforgettable collection Dr. Adamo tells the stories of his patients stricken with various neurological disorders. They are ordinary people courageously dealing with extraordinary circumstances: a brilliant young girl who suffers a stroke and loses the ability to speak; a man who awakens from a coma and finds new meaning to his life; an aging widower who believes his long deceased wife visits him nightly; and many other moving essays. Told with compassion and eloquence, each of these tales conveys lessons about facing struggle, adversity and even tragedy with grace and dignity.
