"A Stroke of Luck" is the remarkable true story of a close-knit family that meets challenge after challenge with resilience, hope, and love. Alex was a normal, bright, and healthy little girl, when the sudden onset of a mysterious illness began to take over her life. Months of physical therapy and medication failed to provide relief from acute pain and muscle spasms. Doctors across the country were at a loss for answers. A last ditch attempt at treatment--brain surgery--ended up stopping the spasms but with unexpected, dire consequences.
"A compelling account of a family fighting for its sanity, wholeness, and sense of normal during an unplanned journey. Be prepared to cry, to cheer, to hope, and to be amazed."
Timothy D. Kanold, Ph.D. former superintendent of Adlai E. Stevenson High School District
