The Journey of My Heart

“Honest, raw, and unforgettable—a rare perspective that needed to be heard.” Born Deaf. Raised in a hearing world. Diagnosed with a rare heart condition. This is the story of one woman’s fight to belong—in her body, her culture, and her voice. In The Journey of My Heart, Andrea Martinez shares an unflinching memoir of survival, grief, healing, and identity as a Deaf Latina with Long QT Syndrome. From misdiagnoses and isolation to the discovery of language and community, Andrea charts her path from silence to self-love, from trauma to truth. Told in vignettes rich with emotion and clarity, this memoir is for anyone who has felt unseen, unheard, or misunderstood. It’s a story of losing everything and learning how to live again—with a different kind of power. Bold. Tender. Unapologetically honest. This is not the American Dream. This is the Deaf Latina Dream.
