During the summer of 2010, faith, hope, and love brought life to the ICU. Summer in the Waiting Room is Eddie García’s true and inspiring story about how a near death experience, modern medicine, and faith in God converge to nourish one family’s optimism in hope. Eddie’s life resembles a roller coaster that’s defined by youthful promise, unfulfilled potential, temporary success, catastrophic illness, and spiritual awakening. After flunking out of college, he goes on a frenetic quest to vanquish failure demons and achieves short-lived vindication through college graduation and career accomplishments. A sudden heart attack and rare lung complication lead to a hopeless summer clinging to life in the ICU. In the end, he goes on a spiritual journey that leads to a remarkable recovery and long-lasting redemption.
