Book of the Week – Between Two Kingdoms

“A searing, deeply moving memoir of illness and recovery that traces one young woman’s journey from diagnosis to remission and, ultimately, a road trip of healing and self-discovery.”

Between Two Kingdoms by Suleika Jaouad

Suleika Jaouad’s Journey “Between Two Kingdoms” – CBS Sunday Morning Interview

“When the body betrays you again and again, it obliterates whatever nascent trust you’ve restored in the universe and your place in it. Each time, it becomes harder to recover your sense of safety. After you’ve had the ceiling cave in on you–whether through illness or some other catastrophe–you don’t assume structural stability. You must learn to live on fault lines.
