A Gift of Life: A Page From the Life
of a Living Organ Donor
Lynn Chabot-Long
Synopsis
|
This is the extraordinary story of an ordinary family caught in a life or death struggle
to save one of their own. With the possibility of a sibling becoming a living organ donor,
this courageous family had to face the fact that they could lose not one, but two members.
This story is told in a light hearted, yet no-holds-barred manner. During the process of
becoming a donor, the author discovered that there was no information to be found concerning
the donors point of view. This book has become the reource for those families considering
organ donation and those who have already donated. Even though it is told from the donor's
point of view, it focuses on the recipient as well. This book has been endorsed by members
of organizations such as: UNOS, the National Kidney Foundation of Wisconsin, the National
Donor Family Council, and the New York Regional Transplant Program to name a few.
