“Great Gobs of Goose Grease: An Account of A Stroke Happening and the Trial and Struggles to Comeback” is an inspiring memoir that talks about the author’s struggles after having a stroke and her healing journey. Despite all the struggles and pain she experienced, she always looked on the positive side of life with the support of her loving family.
What the author suggests throughout the book, however, is to slow down. This is especially true after having a stroke, but it is just as relevant otherwise. Her perspective on the fleeting nature of life is commendable and one that emphasizes enjoying the moments, reflecting, peering within, and constantly assessing if the life we are living is the one we want to live. Are we cultivating strong relationships? Through her husband and sister Bonnie, Smith gets to see how much she truly means in the eyes of her family.
