Summary:
Everyone who cherishes the gift of language will cherish this exquisitely written love story that combines science, inspiration, wisdom, and heart. Diane Ackerman's husband Paul West, a gifted wordsmith and intellectual, was afflicted with aphasia after a stroke. When standard therapies failed, Diane harnessed their deep knowledge of each other and her understanding of the brain and language to guide Paul back to the world of words.

What is the Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer?
The Tomatometer measures the percentage of Approved Tomatometer Critics who recommend a certain movie --
or the number of good reviews divided by the total number of reviews.
A good review is denoted by a
FRESH tomato.
A bad review is denoted by a ROTTEN tomato. 
In order for a movie to receive an overall rating of FRESH on Rotten Tomatoes, the reading on the Tomatometer for that movie must be at
least 60%. Otherwise, it is ROTTEN. The ratings and reviews are licensed by the Phoenix Public Library from Rotten Tomatoes. For more information,
