Description
Claire Sylvia's life took an extraordinary turn after a heart and lung transplant operation. She discovered that new organs were not the only thing she inherited - her taste buds had changed too, and she found herself craving foods she never liked before. In this remarkable memoir, Claire shares her journey of self-discovery as she seeks out the family of her donor, a teenage boy who died in a motorcycle accident. Her story raises fascinating questions about the connection between our physical bodies and our inner selves. A thought-provoking exploration of identity, transformation, and the human experience, "A Change of Heart" is a compelling account that challenges readers to consider the mysteries of life and death.
