My life changed in an instant when a brain bleed after a fall left me unable to speak although my mind remained clear. The doctors said I had a condition called Aphasia. I had never heard of such a thing and couldn't believe or accept that it was happening to me. I began keeping a journal about my problems and struggles to talk, about my family and friends' help and support. This book, with its happy ending, is the result.
