Dr Rachel Clarke is a palliative care doctor with the NHS in the UK, and she's utilised her experience to write several books about the medical industry.

Her bestselling book Breathtaking inspired a tv show and her latest book The Story of a Heart recently won the 2025 Women’s Prize for Non-Fiction.

The Story of a Heart centres on 9-year-olds Max and Keira, and it has been described as story of grief and hope and compassion.

"I came across this story when Max's face appeared on the front page of a newspaper that I happened to read, he looked desperately ill. A few months later, his face appeared again and it was rosy-cheeked and brimming with health."
