HEART HUNTING
Caroline Binder has a beautiful home, a healthy marriage, and a chronic heart condition. Dr. Paul Hoffmann, an expert cardiologist, says he can cure her with a new surgical procedure, and he keeps his promise. Caroline recovers and everyone’s happy - except Caroline herself. Saying goodbye to a life without excitement or responsibility proves more difficult than even she herself had imagined. So much so she that doesn’t want her new heart or her new life.
