Tell Me Everything You Don't Remember: The Stroke That Changed My Life Overview

Christine Hyung-Oak Lee's memoir, Tell me Everything you Don't Remember, is Christine's story about her journey following a stroke she had at age 33. Following the stroke, she appeared fine outwardly. Christine and her husband and friends explained away and ignored her inability to recall simple words or to keep up with a conversation. It took some time for the doctors to diagnose the stroke because she was, after all, only 33 years-old. Over the next several years, she struggled through a prolonged recovery, had a daughter, and weathered a divorce. The stroke became a turning point in her life. It helped her to become a better version of herself and a better writer in the process. Christine's autobiography focuses on how the stroke affected Christine, medical facts and treatment of strokes, and how Christine's childhood affected her reaching out for help before and after the diagnosis.
