In the middle of a painful divorce and becoming a single mother, Simone, a beautiful 30something-year-old, suddenly falls ill.

She finds herself in the resuscitation room of the hospital, fearing for her life, having just suffered a stroke.

What caused Simone to have a stroke at such a young age, no doctor could answer.

Frustrated with the lack of answers and by being treated like older stroke patients, she decides to take healing into her own hands and starts rebuilding her life on her own terms. Simone reclaims her life against medical advice.

Excerpt from Chapter 5 - FIGHTING FOR MY LIFE:

"I decide to get a head start on them, completely forgetting that I haven't called the office to tell them I'm not coming in. All I'm trying to do now is distract myself from the pain in my head and not let Gina down, since I planned to have her over to help me clean my house.

As I start walking towards the dining room my knees remind me that they're overcooked spaghetti.

I never make it."
