Anna Marie Jaworski
Anna Marie Jaworski is a heart mom, author, publisher, and podcast host. This book is the third book in a series of books she has edited. Anna edited and contributed to "The Heart of a Mother" which is an anthology of stories by 62 women affected by congenital heart defects (CHDs). Anna and her father, Bob Daigneault, edited "The Heart of a Father" as the second book in their series. The anthology is a compilation of essays by 50 men affected by CHDs. A number of the contributors to the second book were married to contributors in the first book. In this book, "The Heart of a Heart Warrior," Anna has teamed up with Megan Tones to highlight essays, poems, and art contributed by adults who were born with CHDs. Several of the contributors had parents who wrote for a book in this series.Anna became a published author when she had an article published in "Critical Care Nurse" about being a parent in the ICU. Anna, the wife of an ICU nurse, grew to have a new appreciation for her husband's profession after living in the ICU with their critically ill son. Anna felt sharing her experience would be helpful for nurses.Shortly after the article was published in the nursing journal, Anna self-published her first book, "Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome: A Handbook for Parents." Because she was unable to find a publisher for such a specialized book in the 1990s, Frank and Anna Jaworski founded Baby Hearts Press, a publishing company devoted to publishing resources for the CHD community. Anna's second book was "My Brother Needs an Operation," her first children's book and was the story of her heart-healthy son while his baby brother had surgery.Anna Jaworski has also been published in two medical textbooks about hypoplastic left heart syndrome, several magazines and newspapers, and some e-zines. She is a strong advocate for the CHD community and has been a public speaker across North America at CHD conferences and events. In her spare time, Anna enjoys Toastmasters, traveling, gardening, and reading, especially to her granddaughter.
