With a description of what an MI feels like and how people around the patient react, this memoir provides a view of the author's experience and the emotions that accompanied it. It describes the pain of the attack, the forced inactivity of recuperation, and the melancholy of embracing life anew while accepting a heightened awareness of mortality.
