The Heart of a Woman; A Memoir of Healing and Reversing Heart Disease

This first-person account of one woman’s experience chronicles her enduring a life-threatening heart attack (with no prior knowledge that she was even at risk for heart disease), her physical and emotional roller-coaster ride directly following the attack, her rehabilitation, her ongoing efforts to reverse heart disease, and, especially, her commitment to reclaiming her life and re-creating her self-image. It is a candid and intimate portrait, and a testament to the courage and faith necessary to successfully undertake a journey of healing, the magnitude of which inevitably results in self-transformation. This is the first book to recognize that heart disease is the most serious killer of women in the United States– a fact of which women themselves are unaware– and that it deserves the same degree of attention that breast cancer and men’s heart disease receive. The Heart of a Woman will eliminate the myths most women harbor about heart disease– myths that can kill if believed. While it is a book for all women, it will especially appeal to: women who have had heart disease or heart attacks, women with a history of heart disease in their families who may be unaware of their own genetic predisposition to heart disease, women seeking knowledge of preventive measures for themselves and their children, women who are unaware of the symptoms of a heart attack (different for women than for men).
