520 "The author of the New York Times bestseller Broken Open
returns with a visceral and profound memoir of two sisters
who, in the face of a bone marrow transplant--one the
donor and one the recipient--begin a quest for acceptance,
authenticity, and most of all, love. A mesmerizing and
courageous memoir: the story of two sisters uncovering the
depth of their love through the life-and-death experience
of a bone marrow transplant. Throughout her life,
Elizabeth Lesser has sought understanding about what it
means to be true to oneself and, at the same time, truly
connected to the ones we love. But when her sister Maggie
needs a bone marrow transplant to save her life, and
Lesser learns that she is the perfect match, she faces a
far more immediate and complex question about what it
really means to love--honestly, generously, and
authentically. Hoping to give Maggie the best chance
possible for a successful transplant, the sisters dig deep
into the marrow of their relationship to clear a path to
unconditional acceptance. They leave the bone marrow
transplant up to the doctors, but take on what Lesser
calls a "soul marrow transplant," examining their family
history, having difficult conversations, examining old
assumptions, and offering forgiveness until all that is
left is love for each other's true selves. Their process--
before, during, and after the transplant--encourages them
to take risks of authenticity in other aspects their
lives. But life does not follow the storylines we plan for
it. Maggie's body is ultimately too weak to fight the
relentless illness. As she and Lesser prepare for the
inevitable, they grow ever closer as their shared blood
cells become a symbol of the enduring bond they share.
Told with suspense and humor, Marrow is joyous and
heartbreaking, incandescent and profound. The story
reveals how even our most difficult experiences can offer
unexpected spiritual growth. Reflecting on the
multifaceted nature of love--love of other, love of self,
love of the world--Marrow is an unflinching and beautiful
memoir about getting to the very center of ourselves"--
