A Cry In The Dark

“Given a choice, I would have dressed for the occasion. I dressed for every occasion, even nightmares. But this time… I was caught unaware… I was no longer in control.”

Terence never dreamt he would suffer a stroke. After all, didn’t strokes happen only to old people? Terence did not die, he survived. But there is a difference between just surviving and living “magnificently and beautifully”.

A Cry In The Dark details the journey of Terence Ang, an established marketing professional who had it all, until he suffered a stroke that crumbled his life. Determined to regain full function and mobility, Terrence put his all into physiotherapy sessions where he went through denial, anger and finally, acceptance. His life changing experience evoked a sense immense gratitude for the simple things in life he once took for granted.

This book is written, and illustrated with Terence’s ‘non-functional’ right hand. Although his story may have begun with a cry in the dark, he discovers he has more strength, more courage and much more in himself than he can ever think or imagine.
