Edge of My Heart is the gripping and inspirational memoir of Anthony Sánchez-a devoted father, educator, and musician-who survived a near-fatal battle with COVID-19. Told with unflinching honesty and profound vulnerability, this memoir pulls readers into the raw moments of crisis, hope, and transformation that define his extraordinary journey.

In March 2020, Anthony contracted the coronavirus while pursuing his dream of becoming a school leader and supporting his family through multiple jobs. As his condition worsened, he was admitted to the hospital and placed in a medically induced coma. For nearly three weeks, he hovered between life and death-enduring vivid dreams, spiritual encounters, and a reckoning with the choices, regrets, and relationships that shaped his life.

Waking up was just the beginning.

Edge of My Heart is more than a survival story-it's a reflection on fatherhood, faith, resilience, and the power of grace. With every chapter, Sánchez invites readers into his world: a childhood in Brooklyn, a Dominican family rich with love and conflict, a relentless pursuit of music and education, and the heartbreak of a marriage pushed to the edge. Through powerful storytelling and soulful introspection, Sánchez reveals how pain can lead to purpose, and how brokenness can make way for beauty.

Readers have called this book "so vivid it feels like he's in the room with you," and "a moving reminder of what matters most."

Whether you've battled illness, struggled to forgive, or searched for meaning in the middle of life's storms, this book offers a light in the dark-and a reason to keep going.
