Inhaltsangabe

Every year, more than 500,000 people suffer strokes in the United States. It is the number 3 cause of death after heart disease and cancer. The lucky survivors of strokes often face debilitating disabilities. This is the story of one such survivor.

In 1997, Riley Jackson suffered a series of debilitating strokes. The third one got him. It left him unconscious, alone on the kitchen floor of his coffee farm in Costa Rica. Without the use of his body, and unable to call for help, Riley first comes to terms with the cockroaches he thinks are going to attack him and slowly comes to terms with what has happened to his body. With unflinching stupidity and humorous candor, Riley Jackson carries us with him as he navigates through the challenges of foreign hospitals, airline travel and bureaucratic red tape. Armed with an overly optimistic assessment of his chances for recovery and a quirky sense of humor, Riley emerges to find his devastating personal tragedy transformed into a spiritual awakening that completely renews his love of life. Join him in this retelling of his chaotic journey.
