LA Weekly has published a heartfelt feature about Carol E. Yorke, the Thriving Stroke Survivor Author whose journey from paralysis to purpose continues to uplift readers nationwide. The article,“How Carol E. Yorke Transformed Her Pain into Penmanship: Embodying Inspiration for Stroke Survivors,” chronicles Yorke's transformation after a massive stroke and her mission to empower others through hope, humor, and healing.

Tribute to the Late Dr. Mario Giorgiani

In a verified 5-star Amazon review, the late Dr. Mario Giorgiani - a respected clinician, humanitarian, and friend of the author - shared words that continue to resonate deeply within the stroke survivor community:

“Having known Carol and her courageous efforts to have a meaningful life following her stroke, reading her book was a joy to me. She is an inspiration and a model of how one can endure and thrive (not just survive) the life-changing events caused by a stroke. Her message is clear and concise and invaluable to those who have had a stroke, their families and friends. Beyond her inspirational and loving message, Carol lists helpful resources to make the road to recovery from stroke less burdensome. I will have Carol's book in my office for patients and families to read - it speaks to the heart and soul at a level traditional medicine often overlooks.”

Dr. Giorgiani's compassionate words remain a living testament to the power of Carol Yorke's message - that life after stroke can be not only endured but truly lived, with purpose, gratitude, and joy.
