About the Book
As a happily married, professional woman, I had it all—until the devastating lymphoma. During moments when my survival was uncertain, I questioned the nature of death and fate and faith. After months of punishing chemotherapy, I still needed a Bone Marrow Transplant to eradicate the cancer. But the only person in the world who could donate and save my life was my brother, Johnny, who'd vanished thirty years before.
