A frank and honest account of one patient's journey: from end-stage congestive heart failure, to artificial heart-assist-pump implantation, and eventually, to heart transplantation, recovery, and health.
This memoir shares a first-hand perspective of the fears, challenges, and joys of facing a life-threatening illness, and being given the gift of a second chance at life.
