“A brave, encouraging, genuine work of healing discovery that shows us the ordinary, daily effort it takes to make a shattered self cohere.” — Floyd Skloot, author of In the Shadow of Memory
“The stuff of poetry and of nightmares… [Lee] investigates her broken brain with the help of a journal, beautifully capturing the helplessness, frustration, and comic absurdity (yes, a book about a stroke can be funny!) of navigating life after your world has been torn apart.” — Susannah Cahalan, author of Brain on Fire
“Lee excavates her life with the care of an archeologist in this stunning memoir…Her account is lyrical, honest, darkly comic, surprising, and transcendent in the way it redefines the importance of family history, memory, and what of it we choose to hold with us. A beautiful book.” — Christa Parravani, author of Her: A Memoir
“A searing memoir buoyed by hope.” — People
“This honest and meditative memoir is the story about how Hyung-Oak Lee rebuilt her life, quite literally one step at a time, and how she discovered the person she had always wanted to become.” — Refinery29.com
“Honest and insightful” — New York Times Book Review
“Emotionally explicit and intensely circumspect…. With careful thought and new understanding, the author explores the enduring mind-body connection with herself at the nexus of it all. A fascinating exploration of personal identity from a writer whose body is, thankfully, ‘no longer at war.’” — Kirkus Reviews
“Fearless… [Lee’s] engaging memoir…makes a difficult topic accessible and relatable. Lee expertly explains how the brain works and how even a damaged brain can adapt. Her narrative is both scientific and emotional, revealing the wonders of biology and the power of the human spirit.” — Booklist

    The thing is, I’d lost my voice in so many ways already, before the stroke even occurred.

    The year 2013 was an enormous fall. On an autumn day that year, Mr. Paddington and I took time to coast down the concrete slide in Berkeley’s Codornices Park. On that day, I decided that as miserable as I felt I would seek a minute of pure joy somehow. My thinking was that I could hold on to those few seconds and say, “Today I felt good, even if for ten seconds.”
    That is how I clawed my way back. I would hold on to the small parts of good, even if the good parts were just one percent of my day. I would then try to expand that one percent however I could. I would hold on to any part of happiness, even if fleeting.

    The birth of my daughter will be the best thing that year. The best person that ever happened to me. That moment preceded by all the moments previous. That moment, impossible without struggle.
