My Stroke in the Fast Lane: A Journey to Recovery begins on Easter Sunday morning. While driving home on an interstate highway at 65 mph, Bonni had a stroke. Her 86-year-old mother, sitting in the passenger seat, grabbed the wheel and crashed them into a guardrail. The stroke left Bonni unable to walk, talk, or swallow, and timing couldn't have been worse. Her son was getting married in only eight weeks on Martha's Vineyard.

This profoundly moving memoir is about Bonni's recovery and resuming what she calls her "magnificent life." Told with authenticity and honesty, her tenacity, perseverance, and humor see her through the darkness of Stroke Land. Bonni's courage and resilience take the reader on a compelling and inspirational journey.
