From the Publisher:

We are proud to publish Tommye-K. Mayer's clear, friendly, empowering instructions to handling the details of getting along, from getting back to work and to getting into the swing of leisure activities and even sexuality.

A book like this not only helps the reader manage tasks, but manage the emotional impact of such a traumatic experience.

About the Author:

In 1981, author Tommye-K. Mayer survived a nearly fatal cerebral hemorrhage. While she did indeed survive, Mayer was left with a paralyzed hand, arm--a whole left side paralyzed-just like the deficits experienced by so many stroke survivors.

Tommye-K. Mayer is a Boston-based writer. She has been published in a number of both mainstream and disability publications including: The Boston Globe, Home Office Computing, Careers and Disability, The Boston Tab, Marblehead Magazine, North Shore Sunday, Howlings, Regional Review, Abled, and Connections. Tommye-K. Mayer has a number of other fiction and non-fiction projects soon to be published and already in progress, including her memoirs, Struck Before My Time, and novels Not for Long, Thin Forever, Silence, Faces and The 30 Year Memory Going Straight. She is an intense, talented, and prolific writer, and one we will be reading much of soon.
