VISITING AUTHOR
The Library welcomes Donna Budzenski, MA, CCC-SLP, author of The Evergreen Outside My Window, on Thursday June 14th at 7pm in the reading room. The Evergreen Outside My Window is the true story of speech-pathologist Donna Budzenski, trained to work with clients of all ages with communication disorders, who, in 2007, has a sudden stroke. The result of this event leaves her paralyzed on the right side of her body. Her ability to recall words, communicate, read, and write is severely diminished. Step by step, Ms. Budzeski takes the reader through her arduous journey: from the night of the stroke, on to the emergency room, the rehab center, Mayo Clinic, and finally home. A wonderful program for everyone, including those who have experienced a stroke, loved ones of stroke victims, and caregivers of stroke patients.
