Description
Lauren Marks' memoir, A Stitch of Time, is an illuminating account of her journey to regain her language and identity after a brain aneurysm left her with aphasia. The author recounts how she struggled to come to terms with her new reality, grappling with a muted inner monologue and fractured sense of self. She began keeping a journal to chronicle her progress, which became the remarkable result of this memoir. Alternating between fascination and frustration, Lauren relearns and re-experiences many of the things we take for granted, slowly piecing herself back together.
