This review is from: Second Chances: Receiving the Gift of Life (Paperback)

Everyone should read this book. In an eloquent and thoughtful way, the author tells the story of his heart transplant and what it means to him and the donor's family. He also gives helpful advice about the transplant maze. Jeffrey Lueders is a terrific writer whose voice needs to be heard. I recommend it highly. This is the kind of book that the major publishing companies should be jumping on, but all they care about is the latest celebrity fluff.
