Produktbeschreibung

2024 International Impact Book Awards Winner: Family and Medical Book of Excellence Award Winner: Family Publishers Weekly, starred review, PW Book of the Week, August 2023 At twenty-two, Jennifer Cramer-Miller was thrilled with her new job, charming boyfriend, and Seattle apartment. Then she received a devastating autoimmune diagnosisand suddenly, rather than planning for a bright future, she found herself soaking a hospital pillow with tears and grappling with words like "progressive" and "incurable." That day, Cramer-Miller unwillingly crossed over from wellness to chronic illnessfrom thriving to kidney failure. Her chances of survival hinged upon on the expertise of doctors, the generosity of strangers, and the benevolence of loved ones. But what kind of life would that be? Spanning two-plus decades, this family love story explores loss and acceptance, moving forward with uncertainty, and forging a path to joy. Four kidney transplants later, Cramer-Miller is here to shine a bright light on people helping people in difficult times with a story that will make you want to hug the humans you love. Because sometimes it's the sorrows that threaten to pull us apart that ultimately unite us in hope.
