520    "At twenty-two, Jennifer Cramer-Miller was thrilled with 
       her new job, charming boyfriend, and Seattle apartment. 
       Then she received a devastating autoimmune diagnosis--and 
       suddenly, rather than planning for a bright future, she 
       found herself soaking a hospital pillow with tears and 
       grappling with words like "progressive" and "incurable." 
       That day, Cramer-Miller unwillingly crossed over from 
       wellness to chronic illness--from thriving to kidney 
       failure. Her chances of survival hinged upon on the 
       expertise of doctors, the generosity of strangers, and the
       benevolence of loved ones. But what kind of life would 
       that be? Spanning two-plus decades, this family love story
       explores loss and acceptance, moving forward with 
       uncertainty, and forging a path to joy. Four kidney 
       transplants later, Cramer-Miller is here to shine a bright
       light on people helping people in difficult times with a 
       story that will make you want to hug the humans you love. 
       Because sometimes it's the sorrows that threaten to pull 
       us apart that ultimately unite us in hope" --|cAmazon.
