Barbara Gabogrecan had always been a busy woman with a plan, one who thrived on setting goals and meeting them. In addition to her many professional responsibilities, she was caring for her blind and deaf ninety-year-old mother who was battling dementia.

She didnt have the time or energy to deal with any moreand thats when her own life was changed in an instant, when she had, in quick succession, a stroke and subsequent surgery for a brain tumour.

Her extraordinary life experiences and accomplishments shaped her character, and now she shares her journey to recovery in candid detail with humour and compassion.
Barbara tells her story in the hope of inspiring those who are living with a serious illness or are caring for someone who is.
