A Cry In The Dark: A Stroke Survivor's Story of Hope and Recovery

by Terence AngPublish: May 25, 2022

Book Overview

It should have been the prime of his life. He had everything going for him – a successful career, meaningful relationships, the respect of his peers. All that was threatened when in one fell swoop, he found himself incapacitated by a stroke. Though the stroke rendered his right hand ‘non-functional’, sheer resilience and the p... ower of rehabilitation enabled him to draw the illustrations in this book with that same hand. A Cry In The Dark is the powerful story of one man’s journey to rediscover and reclaim his voice, his dignity, and emerge stronger. The book is illustrated by Terence Ang. Terence shared his story with Radiance Leong, a TV veteran, educator and former Senior Copywriter with J Walter Thompson. Radiance holds an MA TESOL (Master of Arts, Teaching of English to Speakers of Other Languages) from University Of Nottingham, United Kingdom, founded The School House, a private pre-school, and has taught and trained teachers for pre-school teachers in Singapore and South East Asia. read more

BIOGRAPHY
Terence Ang's world was upended in August 2020 when a sudden stroke forced him to confront a harsh new reality. This life-altering event sparked a deep creative fire, leading to his first book, A Cry in the Dark (2022), where he vividly chronicles his journey from confusion and despair to unyielding resilience. His h... eartfelt depiction of the battle to regain normalcy amidst emotional turmoil and harsh realities drew significant recognition, including a speaking engagement at the World Stroke Congress 2022.

With each subsequent work—Emerging from the Dark (2023), Strength in Motion (2024), and the graphic novel The Boy & The Man (2024)—Terence delves deeper into the raw, powerful experiences of stroke survivors, including his own. His writing and illustrations transcend mere storytelling, serving as a potent testament to the human spirit’s capacity for recovery and renewal.

Through his work, Terence shines a light on the often-hidden battles of stroke survivors, offering not just stories but a lifeline of hope, courage, and an indomitable will to rise above adversity.
