This book is a wonderful contribution to the healing of all women. Not only in her courageous confrontation with heart disease but equally important in her willingness to tell the truth. We need more women like her. Pamela tells her story so vividly and with such aching honesty. She empowers us all to speak from the depths of our experience. And her book is an inspiration, reminding us that every experience in life, no matter how painful can be an opportunity to grow and discover more about ourselves.

This book may be a shocker for some people...but isn't this what we need? I found the book to be very informative and helpful - certainly the real deal. I would recommend that every woman with heart disease or a genetic predisposition to heart disease read this book! It doesn't get much better than this!

Read Pamela Serure's book and you will be engaged by her warm and witty writing and enlightened by the vital information she imparts. Heart Disease in women is now getting the media attention it deserves, and Pamela's book is right up there in the "must read" category.

This is a moving, funny, and often terrifying book. As soon as I finished reading it, I booked an appointment with my doctor and told fifty close friends to buy the book. It's a must read for women and for men who love women. Pamela Serrure is a funny, lovable, identifiable woman. Her voice is truthful. She pulls no punches as she tells the story of her life and her struggle with heart disease. You will come to love this narrator. And you will be mobilized to take precautions to protect your health and the health of those you love. First step, buy this book!

Pamela Serure has written a break through book for all women to enable then to pull back the blanket of avoidance when it comes to taking care of themselves as opposed to everyone else!! It is a heart healing book that lights the path to health by letting women share the experinces of those who found strength through dealing realistically and head on with heart disease It provides the information women desperately need to live strong and long lives!!!

Pamela Serure is a very engaging writer. This memoir of her experience having bypass surgery at 47 and the experiences of a group of other women is compelling, sometime funny and often filled with compassion. It is a must read for all women. Who knew that heart disease was the number one killer of women? There is nothing like education to be able to know the real deal about women and heart disease. Living a heart healthy life is something all women can do and all the information is in this book!

This find is a must-read for women of all ages! Not only does it tell the stories of real women, really unlikely women, fighting heart disease, but it is the only thing I've read that clearly tells me who is at risk, what tests are good for me to know about, and how women make it through.
The book mixes, stories, top notch medical advice, common sense, and a really good chicken noodle soup recipe.
After I finished TITH, I mailed it to my mom the next day. Everywoman you love needs to know about this.
*****

I read this book hoping for encouragement - instead I was scared to death - it is chapter after chapter of women suffering thru pain, surgery and depression. I couldn't get this book out of my house fast enoough! It was SO depressing!

I thought this book would give me suggestions on being heart-healthy as a woman but after reading one chapter, I was totally depressed and on-edge. there is chapter upon chapter of woman having heart attacks and that was just not what I was hoping to be reading about. If you are even a tiny bit squeamish, do not get this book. It depressed me for days and do not even want to pick it back up again to finish.
