Surviving My Husband's Stroke is a candid memoir about the emotional realities of becoming a caregiver overnight. When her husband suffered a major stroke, author Denise Hoover's life changed in an instant. What followed was a journey through exhaustion, medical appointments, guilt, and the challenge of learning to love a partner whose life-and personality-had been permanently altered.

With unflinching honesty, Denise Hoover shares the difficult truths of caregiver burnout, resentment, and fear of the future-while also offering moments of hope, love, and hard-earned perspective. Her story sheds light on what caregivers rarely say aloud but often feel, and affirms that healing and resilience are possible even in the hardest seasons.

This book will resonate with wives, partners, and family members caring for a stroke survivor, as well as readers interested in caregiving, relationships, medical memoirs, or personal development. Surviving My Husband's Stroke belongs on shelves in caregiving, health, family, and inspirational nonfiction.
