Stroke A 5% Chance of Survival by Monahan Brown Ricky

Stroke is a survival memoir and love story set in a New York City about to be ravaged by Hurricane Sandy. The day after losing his job, hard-nosed financial lawyer Ricky suffers a catastrophic hemorrhagic stroke, and begins the struggle to return to love, fatherhood, and Scotland. He’s cajoled, bullied, supported and loved back to health by Beth, his then girlfriend, now his wife. Witty and utterly lacking in self pity, this is a young man’s return from the brink.
