Shelly's Heart

Every heart has a story. Shelly’s Heart is the story of organ donor Shelly Whitman. Her gift of life gave patient Maureen O’Neill Hooker a second chance. A second chance to be brought to tears by the fragrance of pine needles, the sight of a tree bending in a breeze, or the sound of rustling leaves loud as rain. To relive and cherish the daily ordinary acts of love. To see the beauty of nature as manifestations of God’s creations perfect in balance. Shelly’s Heart relates the tale of one woman’s journey from heart transplant surgery to recovery to rehabilitation to a reaffirmation of life.
