Judges’ comments
A brave, raw and sometimes shocking first-person account of a Victorian family’s encounter with stroke. Jewel takes the reader on a journey through her 46-year-old husband’s experience, which provides a penetrating insight into a medical condition which can affect any of us, at any time.
Highly Commended
