Surviving a Darkroom: The Chronicles of Marvin Jovel McKelvey Sr. (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781462049622)

When Marvin McKelvey was just forty-seven-years-old, he suffered a stroke-an unusual occurrence for someone his age. This major stroke dramatically changed the way he would live the rest of his life. In this memoir, McKelvey tells his personal story of how he recovered from this severe mid-life emergency. Surviving a Darkroom provides intimate details of the dark void of his stroke, the critical surgery that followed, the paralysis in his left side, the pain of physical therapy, and the long process of recovery. McKelvey shares how his Christianity and his relationship with God helped him cope with the aftermath of his stroke. A story of determination, Surviving a Darkroom shows how McKelvey's faith in God provided the impetus for recovering from a stroke that left him feeling alone in a very dark room. It demonstrates how he saw the light and crawled out of the tunnel to lead an independent life.
