Open hearts: the true stories of the surgery that changes children's lives

Until the 1950s blue babies were a common sight in our streets.

Now, in the West at least, most of these children will have a much higher chance of survival.

In this book, Kate Bull tells not just of the development of heart surgery in children but also of the miraculous difference it has made to so many around the world whose futures have been transformed.
