The wake-up call everyone needs for stroke prevention, treatment, and recovery.

"A true story of triumph over tragedy, this book is a must-have guide for anyone affected by stroke." - William S. Maxfield

"Valerie Greene's courage, persistence, and willingness to search for the healing energies within her have shifted her body, mind, and spirit. Her story is an inspiration to all." - Donna Eden

What are the risk factors and warning signs of stroke? How would you know if you were having a stroke, and what should you do? Which hospital in your area has a stroke treatment center? How can you best care for a family member who has suffered a stroke? If you don't know the answers to these questions, you should-and, after reading Conquering Stroke, you will. You will also be inspired by Valerie Greene's powerful personal story of devastating loss and astounding recovery as well as her drive to educate others about America's third-leading cause of death and the leading cause of adult disability.
