Story4 out of 5 stars 28
At 24 Amy was a typical type-A law student: smart, driven, and highly competitive. With a full course load and a budding romance, it seemed nothing could slow her down...until her heart began to fail. Amy chronicles her harrowing medical journey from the first misdiagnosis to her astonishing recovery, which is made all the more dramatic by the romantic bedside courtship with her future husband and her uncompromising desire to become a mother.

Nurse perspective
Reviewed: 05-19-23
I saw a commentary from Amy weeks before she passed away. She used her last breaths to advocate for improving post transplant life and treatment. I immediately wanted to read the book. As a nurse, I think patients need to tell the truth to us. They don’t need to always be strong and brave. They don’t need to be happy and thankful. It is perfectly alright to voice concerns and disappointment. I hope that because of her honesty and her willingness to put it out there, better treatment for post transplant care will happen. This story is raw, it is harsh at times but it is real and it was hers to tell.
Thank you, Amy may you no longer be a “Sick Girl”
