Even More Suspect Speaking

The Suspect Speaker series is very unique and emotional, and the books are aphasia friendly! In each book author James Stephens presents a series of stories describing events with aphasia. Most importantly, each story has levels of reading to accommodate readers with aphasia. A perfect way to tell his stories and reach all people with aphasia. Highly recommended for readers with aphasia and their supporters and care partners.

You have captured so many aspects of aphasia - feelings and symptoms -

and the different journeys and experiences that people have, in such a rich and compelling way and from different perspectives.

Professor Suzanne C Purdy, The University of Auckland

His stories are both moving and funny. They are also encouraging and uplifting. AphasiaNZ highly recommends Stephens's book to anyone with experience of aphasia.

Very often, we hear what the protagonist is thinking, and wince at what happens when they try to get it out. It's a helpful device, but it's also Stephens's truth, and the truth for thousands of other New Zealanders hit by strokes or tumours, injuries or primary progressive aphasia.
