Faith-filled resiliency can empower one to overcome life's greatest obstacles.

Who is your hero? Lori Ankerud was born with a very complicated congenital heart defect. Her husband Eric's professional experience in medical technology prepared him to walk with and guide Lori through their trials in finding a cardiologist who understood how best to care for the rare adult who survived childhood with this life-threatening condition.

In Heartfelt Dreams, Eric tells their story of faith and providence that placed Lori's family near the one hospital in America that could care for her and eventually led them to the best doctor in the world for Lori's care as an adult. The book offers encouragement and support to congenital heart defect patients and their loved ones.

The reader of Heartfelt Dreams will have a deeper appreciation for the challenges faced by those who suffer from significant medical conditions including their families, as well as encouragement that with hard work, perseverance, and faith, those challenges can be overcome.
