COVID, A Love Story: An Inspirational Memoir of Survival, Faith, and a Medical Miracle

When the COVID pandemic struck her strong, athletic husband, Maria was forced to say goodbye through a hospital window.

Doctors placed Drew in an induced coma on a ventilator and delivered devastating news: he had little chance of survival. Before going under, Drew promised, "I'll beat this." Maria whispered back, "I'll be here every day until you wake up."

What followed was an extraordinary survival story that defied medical expectations. Drew endured 70 days on a ventilator, a collapsed lung, multiple infections, complete paralysis, and a near-death experience. When the medical system urged Maria to remove life support, she refused. Instead, she fiercely advocated for alternative therapies and leaned into faith, prayer, and the unwavering support of their community.

Against impossible odds, Drew survived. His recovery stunned doctors and nurses alike and became nothing short of a medical miracle.

Listen to the story as told in the author's own voice. This inspirational memoir takes listeners inside the ICU during the pandemic, revealing both the harsh realities of hospital COVID protocols and the incredible resilience of the human spirit. You'll witness Maria's transformation from a frightened wife into a fearless advocate fighting for the man she loves.

This is a story about love tested by life and death, faith when hope seems lost, and the miracles that happen when we refuse to give up.

Medical advocates, spiritual seekers, and fans of When Breath Becomes Air, Proof of Heaven, and The Bright Hour will be deeply moved by this unforgettable true story.

I finished listening to this book in just four days, and I’m still not over it. Hearing Maria Brophy tell this story in her own voice made it feel so raw, so real, and so deeply personal that it stayed with me long after I stopped listening.

The story of how her husband, Drew, survived COVID is nothing short of miraculous. There were moments that felt impossible, moments that didn’t make sense, moments that honestly left me in tears and yet every single one of them is true. You can feel Maria’s love in every word. Her strength, her fear, her relentless fight to keep Drew alive is overwhelming in the most powerful way.

But this isn’t just Maria’s story. Drew’s will to live is just as extraordinary. Even when he was told he might not make it, even when hope seemed so far out of reach, he refused to give up. His determination, his stubbornness, his fight is the other half of this miracle.

And what truly moved me was how they weren’t alone. The “angels” who showed up—friends, strangers, moments of grace—remind you that even in the darkest times, there is still goodness, still light, still hope.

This book isn’t just something you read or listen to—it’s something you feel. It will break your heart and then slowly piece it back together.

If you’ve ever questioned whether miracles still happen read this book. Listen to it. Believe in it.

So many decisions to get a Miracle,

This book moved me so many times. I was sad, angry, encouraged, and truly inspired. Drew and Maria share how to not accept the norm, and to follow your inner voice when things don’t feel right. It was not an easy road to buck medical convention but thank God Maria stomped her foot and insisted on better for her love. Read this.
