About the Book

The early stages of stroke recovery can seem like climbing a mountain all day, every day, but it does get easier as the days, weeks, months and years march on. I can see, I can speak, I can read and write, I can walk (albeit in a clumsy fashion) and, from time to time with some pain, especially when my muscles aren't cooperating with my bones. I decided to write this book on a lovely winter day while out with my support worker. I thought to myself The Winter Sun would make a good title for a book and would nicely describe how I felt about my recovery – the good and the bad, the incredible highs and the soul-destroying lows. I thought this book may help others in their own recovery. I have researched as many ways as possible to speed up my recovery. Some of these methods are a little 'out of the box' but there are more conventional methods that I swear by. I hope that my experiences will allow others to help themselves and/or loved ones achieve the best results by making their daily workouts varied, enjoyable and effective.

Nora’s family, including her paternal grandparents, came to Australia in 1962 where they eventually settled in the southeastern suburbs of Sydney. Nora Jones is a retired Personal Development/Health/Physical Education (PD/H/PE) teacher who taught for over 30 years, mostly in Sydney high schools.

She also studied English Literature and English Method at Charles Sturt University. Throughout her career, Nora taught at singlesex schools, selective and comprehensive high schools. Toward the end of her career, Nora switched to primary teaching and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Originally from Sydney, Nora now lives in Gymea Bay, New South Wales, with her husband Rodney and their two rescue dogs, Boo and April. Rod and Nora both adore dogs and run a rescue group: Dog Rescue Mudgee (DRM) and have been very successful in rehoming needy dogs from nearby pounds and other dire situations.
