“This book has been a labor of love—a journey through the shadows into the light for me and for others who have shared in this experience,” says Ang. “I am honored to tell the stories of fellow stroke survivors, and I hope it becomes a cherished keepsake for all who read it.”
Award-Winning Books in the Spotlight
Alongside The Boy and The Man, the Times Square showcase will highlight Ang’s other celebrated works:
* "Emerging From the Dark: Stroke…The Untold Stories" – A 2024 Independent Press Award Distinguished Favorite in the Inspiration category.
* "Strength in Motion: The Next Chapter of Stroke" – A 2024 NYC Big Book Award Distinguished Favorite in the Self-help: Motivational category.
These books offer a powerful blend of personal recovery stories, practical advice, and insights from health experts and stroke survivors.
For World Stroke Day 2024, I hope to share a message of resilience and the transformative power of creativity in overcoming adversity. As a stroke survivor, I strive to embody resilience and hope. This year’s theme, "Greater Than Stroke," highlights our collective strength. Just as athletes rely on their teams to overcome obstacles, stroke recovery depends on a supportive network. My journey has been supported by a dedicated care team, family, the Singapore National Stroke Association, and Aphasia SG. Together, we have faced challenges with determination. I urge everyone to recognise stroke signs and act swiftly—because united, we can be #GreaterThanStroke and work towards a world free from its impact.
