Event Details
Through Their Eyes Book Club in reading Between Two Kingdoms by Suleika Jaouad. Just a few weeks shy of her 23rd birthday, Jaouad receives a diagnosis: leukemia, with a 35 percent chance of survival. Just like that, the life she had imagined for herself went up in flames.
After four years in a hospital bed fighting for her survival and chronicling the saga in a column for The New York Times, Jaouad embarked—with her new best friend, Oscar, a scruffy terrier mutt—on a 100-day, 15,000-mile road trip across the country to meet some of the strangers who had written to her during her years in the hospital. Between Two Kingdoms is a profound chronicle of survivorship and a fierce, tender, and inspiring exploration of what it means to begin again. (Amazon)
