Frolics from a stroke.

Tracy was at the start of her law career and at the cusp of life when she got a debilitating brainstem stroke that affected her breathing, swallowing, speech, eyesight, and severely weakened her left and paralysed her right. She found herself effectively a thinking statue at the age of 35.

This is an account of her journey to recovery. As her brain is reset, she finds, so is her life. Like a growing child, she learns the most basic things anew, and more insightfully, the second time around. She sees the world in a different dimension this time - as wheelchair-bound. She discovers what faith means when it is all that is left.

In amusing and heart-wrenching anecdotes, she finds that there is a life to be had, even in the cracks.
