Anything but Frank: A Journey of Healing, Patience, and Rediscovery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781665780391)

Kenneth Kerns shares the story of a life-altering stroke that led him on a journey to a quieter, more intentional way of living in this heartfelt memoir. Before his hemorrhagic stroke in April 2020, the author was a high-achieving university administrator, juggling demanding responsibilities with a deeply rooted devotion to his wife and two daughters. His career was meaningful...but his family was everything. Then came ten days in a coma. When he awoke, he was paralyzed on his right side and struggling with aphasia. The life he knew was gone, and rebuilding a new one would take everything he had. Years later, the physical signs of his stroke are still evident, but the changes inside have been even more profound. Through therapy and sheer determination, he's discovered an inner peace and a deeper appreciation for life's small victories. This book explores the hard lessons, unexpected joys, and the transformative power of gratitude that have shaped the author's new reality. It's a story of embracing a slower, more present way of living where each day is celebrated as a gift.
