Entre DOS Reinos - Paperback

by Suleika Jaouad (Author)

At twenty-two, Suleika Jaouad had her whole life ahead of her, until cancer cut it short. Some time later, she became known in the United States for her column in the New York Times entitled Life, Interrupted, in which she narrated in real time the shocking experience of her disease, an aggressive leukemia with a survival rate of 35% and resistant to treatment. Between Two Kingdoms is the brave testimony of her long process, from the devastating diagnosis to the healing and the complicated task of rebuilding her life, not where she left off, but from a deep awareness of the blurred line between life and death. With a fresh voice, brimming with resilience and sincerity, Suleika narrates the endless rounds of chemotherapy, the bone marrow transplant, the slow recovery, her new relationship with her body, with the people she loves, with the meaning of life. And, finally, the search for a base to begin to rebuild, which led her to undertake a trip in a van across the country to meet the people who had contacted her during the years of hospitalization.
