Every heartbeat is precious. Every breath, a miracle. "You need a heart transplant." Laura Edge hears those words for the first time when she is thirty-nine-years-old. Her family has just returned from a joy-filled vacation to Disney World when she develops a cough. The cough worsens, and a team of cardiologists give her news that tears her world apart. The mother of five- and six-year-old boys must trade Little League games for hospitalizations and her favorite Italian foods for handfuls of pills. The Heart of the Matter chronicles Laura's journey as she tries to stay alive long enough to raise her children. She learns to trust God for each heartbeat and finds faith in His goodness. A survival story with a message of hope, Laura's memoir will resonate with anyone facing life's greatest challenges and most impossible questions.
