On the night of July 5, 2009, the life of Carolyn Powell -- a young, athletic, working mother of two young boys, married to the love of her life-- changed forever. 
One night, Carolyn awoke to cries of her son. Minutes after she left his side, Carolyn's husband, Luke, found Carolyn lying in their son's bed -- her heart, stopped. 
Paramedics worked to bring her heartbeat back, with the risk of damage to her brain due to lack of oxygen growing with each minute. After 15 minutes, they finally got her heart beating, but surviving was only the beginning... 
Learning to navigate motherhood with a disability after surviving cardiac arrest is just part of the remarkable story of Carolyn Powell's recovery from sudden cardiac arrest as a result of Long QT Syndrome. Carolyn's story takes readers on a journey filled with joy and laughter that dissolves into tears, from hopelessness to triumphs and everything in between.
