In gripping prose, one of the world's leading cardiac surgeons lays bare both the wonder and the horror of a life spent a heartbeat away from death When Stephen Westaby witnessed a patient die on the table during open-heart surgery for the first time, he was struck by the quiet, determined way the surgeons walked away. As he soon understood, this detachment is a crucial survival strategy in a profession where death is only a heartbeat away. In Open Heart, Westaby reflects on over 11,000 surgeries, showing us why the procedures have never become routine and will never be. With astonishing compassion, he recounts harrowing and sometimes hopeful stories from his operating room: we meet a pulseless man who lives with an electric heart pump, an expecting mother who refuses surgery unless the doctors let her pregnancy reach full term, and a baby who gets a heart transplant-only to die once it's in place. For readers of Atul Gawande's Being Mortal and of Henry Marsh's Do No Harm, Open Heart offers a soul-baring account of a life spent in constant confrontation with death.

Rachael Lord's debut poetry collection Fragile Hearts Club is about her own journey through love, loss, trauma, self-discovery, fairytales, and much more.

From the first page to the last, a club is formed for all those who have ever felt like they were never good enough to exude their own magic. You are the magic. Welcome to the club.

SOMETIMES THE DEEPEST SCARS ARE THOSE NO ONE SEES. Damian I swore I'd never love anyone. But that all changed when I met Lilah, my new neighbor. One look at her deep blue eyes and shy, teasing smile, and all I want to do is take her in my arms and protect her forever. The attraction between us is undeniable. The passion she stirs in me is like nothing I've ever experienced. There's only one thing stopping me--the man who calls himself her boyfriend. The one who lies to her. The one who hurts her. I'll do anything to get her away from him. If only I can get her to trust me first. Lilah I may appear to have it all--a great job, a cool apartment, a gorgeous boyfriend . . . but underneath that perfect exterior are bruises left by a monster who claims to love me. I'd lost all hope of escaping, until I met Damian. I know I shouldn't want him. I know I shouldn't cling to him like he's my last hope of survival. But I do it anyway. And it may cost us everything.

The Fragile Heart was written during the most difficult trials of my life. I lost three children, was diagnosed with Chrons disease, and lost my job after working in a career for more than ten years. Anyone who has ever had to deal with difficult circumstances that have caused heartbreak can identify with the excruciating pain and hardship it can bring. During those times, it was an uphill struggle to find comfort and peace of mind again. In this book, we will talk about how to experience comfort, deliverance, but most of all, a complete healing through the Love and Word of God. I pray that this book touches and ministers to your heart, and that you find solace in knowing that, while going through difficult times, you are not alone and God can heal your broken and fragile heart. After reading this book, I was inspired to serve the Lord even more vigorously. Having known Shelly for years, I have seen the growth in her life and was very impressed with the way that she put her experiences into words. The Fragile Heart is a must read not only for Christians but for everyone who needs encouragement and understanding during trying times. -Pastor Warner Bradby Shelly and her husband, Damon, make their residence in Maryland with their four-year-old daughter, Hannah. They fellowship at Glorious Trinity Apostolic Faith Holiness Church in Baltimore where Shelly serves as a missionary, Sunday school teacher, choir director, and youth leader. Before being called to serve in ministry in 2008, Shelly worked in property management for 10 years. She and her staff were recognized for their achievements and won many awards. In her spare time, Shelly sings with her family singing group, "The Allen Family." Most of all, Shelly enjoys spending time with her family.
