Dr. William Novick is a thoracic and cardiac surgeon in Memphis, Tennessee. He received his medical degree from University of Alabama School of Medicine and has been in practice for more than 20 years. He has made numerous trips to Croatia and other countries in order to perform corrective heart surgery on children. A reflective narrative of the hopes, trials, failures and successes of life in the former Yugoslavia as told by parents and their children with congenital heart disease. This is a fascinating book about war-torn Croatia and the mission surgery performed in both Europe and the United States. It tells the story of Father Kerrigan and Dr Novick, and their work, over approximately the last 10 years, with the children of Croatia. More than this, it is a book written about people, for it also tells the story of the Croatians and the Americans who hosted them. The Croatians are clearly seen as brave, strong people, who have been subjected to a terrible series of events. They are resourceful and courageous when dealing with the problems of congenital heart disease seen in their children. The authors also give great credit to the many American hosts described in the book. Healing the Heart of Croatia gives the reader the flavor of a well-organized mission effort in which many different people from many different spheres participate. In addition to these elements, a history of Croatia has been woven into the tale. This history is informative and useful to those who may not understand the history and many difficulties found in the Balkans. In short, this is an interesting book from many different perspectives, and can be recommended to any reader who is interested in mission surgery or in the difficulties in Croatia.
