Heartsounds: The Story of a Love and Loss

The national bestseller and undying testament of a wifeâ€™s love for her husband as he embarks on the fight of his life

On a story assignment in France for theÂ New York Times Magazine, Martha Weinman Lear has just escaped tourist-infested Cannes for a quietÂ pensionÂ in the hills behind the Riviera when she gets the call from New York. Her husband has suffered a massive heart attack and is in the hospital.

Harold Lear, a fifty-three-year-old urologist and leader in the field of human sexuality research, suddenly finds himself in the helpless role of the patient. Ripping into the Learsâ€™ lives and marriage, Halâ€™s coronary disease sends them on a journey through New York Cityâ€™s medical maze. With bittersweet poignancy, Lear chronicles her husbandâ€™s valiant efforts to combat his sickness as more heart attacks and devastating postsurgical complications befall him.

A stunning work of medical drama and journalism,Â HeartsoundsÂ is above all the gripping story of a passionate, enduring love.
