Rick has chronicled his own process of recovery from open-chest heart surgery focusing on the psychological impact of the procedure on himself, as well as his family. His Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology and his training as a therapist has enabled him to articulate his experience in a unique fashion that will be helpful for other heart surgery survivors and their families to read and relate to. Rose has added the important aspects of what the surgery is like for the spouse of a survivor to round out the books informative appeal.
