Award-Winning Books in the Spotlight
Alongside The Boy and The Man, the Times Square showcase will highlight Ang's other celebrated works:
* "Emerging From the Dark: Stroke...The Untold Stories" – A 2024 Independent Press Award Distinguished Favorite in the Inspiration category.

These books offer a powerful blend of personal recovery stories, practical advice, and insights from health experts and stroke survivors.
For World Stroke Day 2024, I hope to share a message of resilience and the transformative power of creativity in overcoming adversity. As a stroke survivor, I strive to embody resilience and hope. This year's theme, "Greater Than Stroke," highlights our collective strength. Just as athletes rely on their teams to overcome obstacles, stroke recovery depends on a supportive network. My journey has been supported by a dedicated care team, family, the Singapore National Stroke Association, and Aphasia SG. Together, we have faced challenges with determination. I urge everyone to recognise stroke signs and act swiftly-because united, we can be #GreaterThanStroke and work towards a world free from its impact.
