The Book I’d Encourage My Family to Read: “Great Gobs Of Goose Grease: An Account Of A Stroke Happening And The Trial And Struggles To Comeback” by Connie Smith

Spending time with your family is one of the most precious moments that each of us values a lot. Regardless of our busy schedule from work or school, we always make time for our family. Each family has their own unique and creative way of having fun and bonding. Some would prefer out-of-town trips, attending music concerts, perfecting their family recipe, or watching movies with matching freshly made popcorn.

For families who love to read, “Great Gobs Of Goose Grease: An Account Of A Stroke Happening And The Trial And Struggles To Comeback” by Connie Smith is a great addition to your much-awaited family bonding. This compelling masterpiece follows the author’s healing journey after experiencing a stroke in her early fifties.

Moreover, this was commended by Mihir Shah of the US Review of Books, acknowledging that “Overall, adversity brings life into focus, and in Smith’s work, this is magnified even more through her knack for authenticity, particularly through her journal entries. What she calls her “Stroke Book” is an outpouring of vulnerability that shows readers the grueling journey to recovery in its most minute forms. Though she has endured a tremendous health ordeal, Smith is fearless in her writing and desire to demonstrate a pathway forward for stroke victims, step-by-step, with support and gratitude.”
