نقد و بررسی
Along with his thoughtful phrasing and appealing vocal resonance, Richard Allen adds a friendly gravitas to this inspiring memoir by genuine nice guy Mark McEwen--the career broadcaster and former CBS weatherman who had a major stroke in 2005. The narrative alternates between McEwen's grueling rehabilitation and his life in an exciting business before the stroke. Though his optimism and humor helped his rehab efforts, he gives most of the credit to outside influences. For McEwen, it was all about family, friends, purpose, and allowing himself to be touched and energized by the dozens of therapists who worked with him. Lucidly written, this is a textured glimpse of the determination one must find when challenged to pick oneself up and redefine what it means to live well. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine

Acclaimed anchorman, reporter, and weather analyst McEwen was riding atop the world. Then, at age 51, he was felled by two strokes. This, his memoir, which chronicles the ascendance of his career, his collapse, and his painstaking recovery, is both cautionary and inspirational, a personalized lesson in stroke awareness and treatment. Four-time Audie® Award nominee Richard Allen's masculine voice and enunciation befit a broadcast communicator's autobiography. Highly recommended for public library and nonfiction and health collections. [Audio clip available through www.tantor.com.Ed.]Judith Robinson, Dept. of Lib. & Information Studies, Univ. at Buffalo
