A journey with Sarah, who shares the struggles her husband Ben faces with systemic sclerosis and the life-saving heart transplant he receives. This experience is set against the backdrop of a pandemic as they navigate the challenges of hospital care, discover the kindness of their community, and find strength in resilience and hope.

Sarah Cart was raised and educated in New York and New England and wrote for multiple local publications. She and her husband, Ben, raised four sons in northeastern Ohio.

We dig into the raw, personal stories that capture the emotional and physical toll of caregiving, the battle with opioid dependency post-surgery, and the power of humour and family support. This narrative serves as a reminder that progress sometimes appears in the smallest gestures and moments of laughter, ultimately illustrating the significance of cherishing every step forward.

Sarah reflects on turning her personal experiences into a compelling narrative with the help of a ghostwriter. Her book On My Way Back to You: One Couple's Journey through Catastrophic Illness to Healing and Hope incorporates the perspectives of her husband and sons, showcasing their challenges.

After becoming empty nesters, Sarah and Ben moved to the Florida Keys but returned each summer to the Pennsylvania Poconos, where they have lifelong family ties.

Let's enjoy her story!
