Before, afdre, and after

"When Maureen Twomey was only thirty-three years old, she experienced a massive stroke--one that took away her ability to read, write, walk, and even speak. But she wasn't about to go down without a fight. In Before, Afdre and After, Twomey offers a sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes comical, and ultimately inspiring account at what it is to lose everything when you're supposed to be in the prime of your life--and what it takes to get it back, piece by tiny piece"--Cover.
