As a new year approached, Jennifer Bonner embraced college life and flourished as a visual artist.
But Jen\'s continued survival depended on chance events that she and her doctors couldn\'t control..
Steady medical progress brought her two decades of life and hope for decades more.
Poignant, irreverent, and bold, The Wait is Jen\'s diary, framed by the stories of her remarkable family and Heart surgery advances.
Her diary entries frankly address love, sex, friendship, art, and mortality, and reveal a young woman determined to thrive.

Without a Heart Transplant she would die soon.
Then, unusual fatigue led to terrifying news.
Childhood Heart problems rarely clouded her thoughts.
