The father,Walter Gretzky, of the Great One, Wayne Gretzky will share. for the first time, Walter tells the story of his life-about growing up on a small farm, about meeting and marrying Phyllis, about raising five children in a modest home in Brantford on the salary of a telephone repairman, about hanging on to his modesty and values when the comet of celebrity hit. He also talks about recovering from a stroke that nearly killed him. He shares with us the help of dedicated therapists, doctors, family and friends while he battled back from an aneurysm that left him with many cognitive difficulties and destroying a decade of memories-including almost all of Wayne's NHL triumphs. In this book he hopes to share with others that there is life after a stroke.
