5.0 out of 5 stars Healing Wisdom, October 20, 2006
By A. Mestre (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great wake up call for women, October 18, 2006
By TC Fields (North Carolina) - See all my reviews
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't be scared, be smart!, October 6, 2006
By ERO (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
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.
