Pamela Harris was born the youngest of four children and is originally from the south of England where she grew up and lived for 53 years until immigrating to the city of Christchurch on the South Island, New Zealand, in November 2014. Pam is a qualified lecturer, holds a Bachelor (Honors) of Social Sciences degree, and currently works in the healthcare industry in New Zealand, working as an education manager for a large community care provider. Pamela was inspired to write this book after unexpectedly needing a triple heart bypass and wanted to share her experience to help others and their partners and families in understanding better the entire process from diagnosis to how to live a far healthier life. Pamela is a very outgoing, sociable, and positive person who believes that if fate takes a hand, there is a reason and that all of life is a learning process. 'Hauora pai me te ora roa.' 'Good health and a long life.'
