A young woman in her early 30's suffers a debilitating stroke, and during treatment she learns she's lived with a hole in her heart since birth. The book is interesting, but also seemed really repetitive to me; so much so that I skimmed the last quarter of the book. Reading about her struggles with breathing as a child during hikes with her parents, for example, was interesting the first time she talked about it, but by the third or fourth time I felt it had already been covered. Her style of writing didn't appeal to me very much, particularly since there are so many bios out there describing personal medical challenges that reflect the personality of the writer in a more engaging way.
