{"product_id":"identity-theft-rediscovering-ourselves-after-stroke","title":"Identity Theft: Rediscovering Ourselves After Stroke","description":"Identity Theft follows Stanford professor Debra Meyerson's journey to recover from a severe stroke that initially left her physically incapacitated and unable to speak. In addition to providing realistic expectations for the hard work needed to regain everyday capabilities, Meyerson focuses on the less frequently documented emotional journey in recovery. Virtually every survivor is haunted by questions like: \"Who am I now?\" and \"How do I rebuild a meaningful and rewarding life?\" after losing so much of what they had before--capabilities, careers and jobs, relationships, and more. This is a book full of hope for survivors--from stroke or other injuries--as well as their families and support networks.\n\nAll author proceeds from this book will go to Stroke-Forward.org, a nonprofit initiative that will support stroke and other survivors, and advocate for a more human-centered approach to health care.\n\nIdentity Theft centers on Debra's experience: her stroke, her extraordinary efforts to recover, and her journey to redefine herself. But she also draws on her skills as a social scientist, sharing stories from several dozen fellow survivors, family members, friends, colleagues, therapists, and doctors she has met and interviewed. By sharing this diversity of experiences, Debra highlights how every person is different, every stroke is different, and every recovery is different. She provides a valuable look at the broad possibilities for successfully navigating the challenging physical recovery--and the equally difficult emotional journey toward rebuilding one's identity and a rewarding life after a trauma like stroke.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1449496318\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1449496318.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Meyerson, Debra E.|Zuckerman, Danny\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
