An Informative and Insightful Guide for Stroke Survivors, their Families and Healthcare Professionals is an in-depth view of Clare Keating’s journey before, during and after a hemorrhagic stroke in March of 2021. It is a vivid story of hope and an inside glimpse of what happens as the mind works to heal itself. This book lays out a path to recovery as Clare goes through treatments and therapies, adding her own ingenuity to the equation as she slowly reaches her goals. This is a front row seat into a mind that is searching for ways to heal itself by a woman who longs for her life back.

Her first title also displayed the perfect blend of Clare’s passions, writing and caregiving. To Dance in the Rain: A Mother and Daughter’s Journey of Hope and Healing, published in 2014, is a story of love, hope and courage. Clare became the primary caregiver and advocate for her daughter, Alicia, as the then-sixteen-year-old first fought for her life, and then for her life back. As a mother and nurse, Clare writes from a unique perspective, combining years of medical knowledge with the vulnerability faced by a parent during a sudden and life-changing family tragedy. Both of these stories were triggered by significant and life-altering events that have allowed Clare to combine her years of medical experience with her award-winning writing style.

Clare was the recipient of a Gold medal in the category of Caregiving from the Living Now Awards in 2014, after publishing To Dance in the Rain. This award is presented annually and celebrates innovation and creativity of newly published books. Winners are chosen for their ability to “enrich readers’ lives.”
