A food writer's moving portrait of how she and her husband cope in the aftermath of his heart attack and bypass surgery

For the millions of readers coping with a loved one's medical issues, this moving account by food editor Cecily Ross will strike a deep chord. With honesty and humor, she tells the story of her husband's unexpected heart condition, his recovery from bypass surgery, and the dramatic toll it took on their lives.

In 25 chapters with two heart-friendly recipes at the end of each, you'll join Cecily and her husband, Basil, as they swear off doughnuts, learn how to meditate, flirt with vegetarianism, and come to better appreciate the simple pleasure of sharing a meal. This glimpse into the lives of a man who survived a life-threatening illness and the woman who supported him throughout his recovery offers consolation and courage to the many who face this disease every day.

Summary: Cholesterol Confusion
Comment: Having recently been diagnosed with high cholesterol,the title of this book caught my eye. The story was interesting, sympathetic, scary. I like the idea of blending recipes with a memoir, but I was utterly shocked at the ingredients in the recipes - butter, eggs, butter, eggs...um...isn't that part of the problem? Still, I enjoyed the story and wish the author and her husband only the best in health.

Summary: An interesting story, but. . .
Comment: . . .I could not help but get frustrated at the way Ms. Ross portrays her husband. She paints him as if he were a dog or a developmentally disabled child. You understand wanting to feel sympathy for this couple as they journey through and beyond a near-death experience. Unfortunately, she makes us feel more sorry for him for being married to someone who (albeit probably inadvertently) seemingly disrespects him.

Summary: Destined for a Lifetime Movie
Comment: Saw this book in the library - it was the clever title and jacket art that caught my eye and aroused my curiosity. I checked it out and was rewarded with an honest, poignant, and inspiring account of love the second time around and surviving heart disease. If you enjoy reading Ruth Rheichls memoirs, then this should delight you.
