My Heart Vs. the Real World by Max S Gerber

My Heart vs. the Real World is a photo documentary volume that explores the lives of children with congenital heart disease (CHD) through striking blackandwhite photographs and interviews with subjects and their families. Ten chapters each spotlight a single child and in an additional chapter, the author writes about his own experience of growing up and living with CHD. The images and personal accounts reveal how, compared with someone healthy, a chronically ill child develops adult attitudes in a much different way. These are stories of how CHD patients and their families cope with and overcome extraordinary obstaclesand learn about themselves during the process. My Heart vs. the Real World is sometimes funny, sometimes sad, always thoughtprovoking, and altogether human.
