Escape From Bondage gives voice to the countless stroke victims who may have been forgotten and abandoned by the rest of society and, sadly, even their families in their time of need. The tale serves as a revelation of what goes on inside an immobile, unresponsive stroke victim’s mind—the fears, the loneliness, the frustration, the agony, the desires. More broadly, the story evokes the compassion we are called to have—but often neglect—for those who are confined to hospitals, nursing homes, or their own homes, those who are yearning for someone to love and encourage them.
