About the Book:

Nurses and doctors raced to work on me. "She's coding!" one nurse yelled. "She's not breathing and we don't have a pulse!" Although my lifeless body was being assaulted by attempts to start my heart back up, I wasn't concerned. I was still, placid, and unable to do anything. It was like I was outside my body, looking down. Even though a steady calmness held me from fear, one thing was sure to me: I knew I was dying. In September 2001, Cindy Valenti-Scinto, a healthy young woman, suffered a heart attack that was only the beginning of a grueling seven-year journey through heart disease. Four years later, after forty operations and several brushes with death, Cindy received a miraculous heart transplant that saved her life. Cindy relied on the Lord as her strength through all the trials and pain, providing her many opportunities to share His love with others. Her story is not only inspiring-it shows how trust in God provides the strength to get through any "disease" of the heart.
