A first-hand account of how heart disease affects families

I went to college with Dr. Jensh's daughter, Vicki, and thus I have known Dr. Jensh and his family for about 13 years now. I was in contact with the family at the time of Dr. Jensh's heart transplant, and I read one of the first versions of this book, which the author wrote soon after his operation. Lifelines offers a unique perspective into living with heart disease, including how this issue affects not just the patient but also the family as a whole. Chapters written by my friend and her sister detail the impact of parental illness on children from the point of view of both an adult child and an adolescent. The book is moving, engaging, and fascinating, and I believe it is likely to be appreciated by anyone who enjoys insight into human experiences. However, Lifelines is especially applicable to those who have experienced heart disease in their own families; I believe those readers in particular would derive support and encouragement from this book.
