Author and stroke survivor Carol E. Yorke announces the release of her powerful and uplifting new book, “Brain Attack: Surviving a Stroke 2nd Edition,” an inspiring guide for stroke survivors and anyone navigating sudden, life-altering challenges.
“Are you struggling to adjust to your life after a stroke? Having a stroke is the worst!” Yorke writes candidly, drawing readers into her deeply personal journey. After a devastating stroke left her paralyzed on one side, unable to walk, work, or care for her family as she once had, Yorke refused to let adversity define her. Instead, she turned to the lessons and resilience she had cultivated throughout her life to transform herself from a survivor into a thriver.
In “Brain Attack,” Yorke shares the actionable strategies, mental frameworks, and daily practices that helped her rebuild a meaningful, joyful life. Through heartfelt storytelling and practical insights, she empowers readers to find strength, hope, and purpose in the face of life's most challenging moments.
“Whether you've survived a stroke or are grappling with another sudden life change,” Yorke says. “This book serves as an inspirational guide, encouraging you to strive for the best possible life.”
Her poetic reflection encapsulates the spirit of her message:
“The person I am today is not who I used to be,
My body's bent,
My mind is spent,
But look closely and you will see,
Even though I'm different,
I'm still me.”
