Everyone gets to live. Some for longer than others. For Violet, born with a life threatening heart defect that has controlled her twenty-one-years, life has been anything but easy. When reality is a high-risk game of trial and error, Violet finds solace the only way she knows how - with a brush in her hand. But everything can change in a heartbeat. Surrounded by loving family and the best friend a girl could ask for, Violet must ask the universe for the biggest favour of all - the one that will keep her alive. Tear-jerking, agonising and uplifting, My Heart Needs will give you hope for today and each day that follows after.
