Self-Help Health | Non-Fiction Memoir
Mark McEwen was at the top of his game and enjoying life
when he suffered a stroke. After fifteen years on The Early
Show, he had moved to Orlando to anchor the local news and
spend more time with his family. While traveling, he
experienced symptoms that led him to a hospital, where he
was misdiagnosed with the flu. Two days later, on an
airplane flight just hours before he finally collapsed,
flight attendants and airport staff discounted his slurred
speech and heavy sweating. Misinformation not only delayed
his treatment, but it also nearly cost him his life. Now, in a candid and moving memoir, America’s beloved
morning-show weatherman recalls his harrowing journey of
rehabilitation from a massive stroke. Change in the Weather
traces his recovery in the aftermath of temporarily losing
some of his greatest gifts—his talent as a public speaker,
and his warm, witty exuberance—while his wife worked
valiantly to care for their children as well as her
seriously ill husband. Telling an ultimately triumphant
story, McEwen also offers extensive insights into the
warning signs of stroke as well as prevention and treatment
options.
