Through his rehabilitation and journey back to his new normal he began to share his story. First, in his book “A Cry In The Dark: A Stroke Survivor’s Story of Hope and Recovery,” then through “Emerging From the Dark: Wish I Knew About This,” and now in this “Emerging From the Dark: Stroke…The Untold Stories.”
