HEART OF IRON: MY JOURNEY FROM TRANSPLANT PATIENT TO IRONMAN TRIATHLETE
By: Garlett, Kyle
Garlett (The Worst Call Ever) takes a break
from sports writing to tell his own valiant story of survival. After four bouts
with cancer, years of radiation and chemotherapy, and a treacherous five-year
wait for a heart donor, Garlett shocked the world by competing in two
breathtaking Iron Man Triathlon World Championships. This tale of heartbreak
opens a window on the life of an 18-year-old boy who suffered numerous medical
traumas until he was 35. Garlett's story is insightful and inspiring, although
at times the details become too much. For those who seek an inspirational story,
the technical words and meticulous re-enactments add potentially unnecessary
hurdles. However, a hero in every sense of the word, Garlett's unwavering
courage, raw honesty and brilliant love for life absolutely radiate from the
page. (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved. TitlePeek
