Listen to Your Heart Song: Navigating the Unexpected

by Caron Grossman

Listen to Your Heart Song: Navigating the Unexpected tells the inspiring story of a woman who survives a heart attack and explores how heart disease manifests uniquely in women. Through her personal journey, Caron uncovers the often-overlooked signs of heart attacks in women—from unusual fatigue and shortness of breath to jaw pain and dizziness. As she navigates recovery, she becomes an advocate for raising awareness and empowering women to recognize and act on the symptoms that could save their lives. This book is both a memoir and a vital resource, shedding light on a critical health issue that affects millions of women worldwide.

Caron’s story is one of resilience, grace, and the power of transformation. Her journey shows us that healing isn’t linear, but the pursuit of wholeness is always worth it.
