1 Man, 3 Hearts, 9 Lives
Falling deathly ill in his New Jersey home in 1990, it was highly unlikely that 6 year-old Christophe Lafontant would even live to see his 7th birthday. Although left completely perplexed as to the cause of this mysterious illness, doctors still did everything in their power to keep him alive. Christophe survived a pacemaker implantation, two heart transplants, diabetes, dialysis treatment, a kidney transplant, a tracheostomy, and other life altering procedures.
Desperate to attain a life of "normalcy", Christophe spent his whole life trying to conceal his illness and true identity from those around him. Instead, he chose to live in a world of disillusioned perfection until one day uncovering a deep seeded family betrayal. It wasn't long before those painfully dark emotions he tried so hard to bury would catch up with him causing him to sink deeper into an already existing drug addiction. Although he consistently defied the odds medically, he was slowly dying emotionally. 1 Man, 3 Hearts, and still ALIVE. |

Powerful and Awe-Inspiring! A MUST READ!
Christophe's raw account of his life's journey is one that is sure to leave a deep impact and force you to look at circumstances with a whole new perspective. His transparency and honesty make everything he goes through so much more relatable. His writing style brings you into the story so well, making you feel as though you are right there with him every step of the way. I loved it so much I couldn't put it down. A true page turner.
This story was so powerful that I even read it twice, however there is no doubt that it will stay with me for a lifetime. Thank you Christophe, for opening up to the world for us to read!

I recommend this story to absolutely everyone
An extremely inspiring story about true resilience. Christophe shares his inner most thoughts and emotions in a raw and unfiltered way. I recommend this story to absolutely everyone, as we all need a reminder of what is important in life, and the many things we take for granted.

An Icon, An Inspiration, A Friend
If you have found your way to this book, I encourage you to take the plunge and start reading. The life led by the main character Christophe has more twists and turns than you are ready for. You will be surprised, you will be sad, you will feel joy, and you will feel the depression. You will travel on an emotional roller coaster that I actually do not have words to describe.
One word of advice, do not read this on a plane like I did. You will not be able to stop reading and you will find some strange ways to hide the emotion in public. I legit walked to the baggage claim still reading.
This is one of the most humble men of his generation and my life time. Through all his trials and tribulations, his care is about those who surround him. He will have self doubt and bad days, people who don't are liars, but if you need to he inspired look no further.
I really hope you haven't gotten this far and you have already bought the book!!

Excellent!
I'm sorry for anyone who hasn't read this book. Do read it. All your troubles will seem like trifles to you. The author passed all circles of hell, but nothing broke him. He wrote a book that can be read in one breath. He is a model of manliness. I wish the author happiness and good health. Looking forward to more books.

This is a book you have a hard time putting down.
This is a fast reading book due to the interesting and insightful way the author wrote. He pulls no punches about his view on life, yet, he is an inspiring soul. For anyone that may have a progressive disease or do not; you close the book at the finish feeling a little more empowered.

Changed my outlook on life
Helped me to recognize that I am more than my disability. Reminded me that everyday is a gift and a blessing. Validated that it’s ok not to be ok sometimes, then dust yourself off and let your “ LIGHT” shine. Reading your story brought me to tears then lifted me up and I found hope in recognizing instead of what I can do in place of what I can’t do anymore.
I found myself wishing I could meet this amazing man and author in person because if his light can touch me thru reading I can only imagine how it would feel in person. You never know whose life has been saved or changed by sharing your story. I know mine has.
