Historia
At 42 years old, Valerie Giglio was heading for a bright future as both a successful lawyer and professional vocalist with two CDs to her name, when out of nowhere, she suffered a brain stem stroke that ravaged her life and caused her world to spin out of control. Completely paralyzed on one side, confined to a wheelchair, her singing voice stolen from her at the height of her career, Valerie was devastated.

Valerie’s story in “Sing in My Own Key” is one of recovery from terrifying loss. Valerie’s recovery would not have been possible without: her undying determination to regain everything that she had lost, her love of music and singing, the wonderful support and love provided by her spouse and her family, and the wonderful medical care, physical and occupational therapy, and music therapy, that she received in Boston.
I loved hearing the audio version of her book because it felt like I was meeting Valerie and hearing her story of triumph in her own voice. Being a stroke survivor myself, due the same vascular condition, I can appreciate how Valerie explains her injury and deficits, both physically and emotionally. Her description is accurate and unsensationalized; while at the same time her recovery and accomplishments are spectacular and motivating.
What Valerie achieved in stroke recovery, in the timeframe that she achieved it, is miraculous. What she experienced is terrifying and what she accomplished is inspiring. Singing In My Own Key is a must read/hear for anyone facing overcoming a daunting obstacle in their life.
