The Hearts of a Girl recounts how Jessica Carmel fought for life at a mere four days old and kept fighting through three more heart repair surgeries, a heart transplant, and a kidney transplant. Carmel provides a unique patient view in this riveting memoir-her struggles growing up with half of a heart, learning she was in need of a heart transplant and later a kidney transplant, the pain, both mental and physical, she endured while living with a rare disease, and her fight for life. Carmel realized at a very young age that she was different from other children, and though she has faced death several times, she has remained determined to live as normally as possible.
