BETWEEN TWO KINGDOMS

BETWEEN TWO KINGDOMS by Suleika Jaquad

Autobiography Between Two Kingdoms: A Memoir of a Life Interrupted by Suleika Jaouad is not an easy book to read. Jaouad recounts her journey of dealing with a diagnosis of leukemia at around 23 years of age. Being a non-stop go getter in her pre-cancer life, she shares the hardships of having to put life on hold for four years to begin the process of becoming healthy again. What she mistakenly believes is that her life will return to its former way after she receives the cured word. When it doesn't, she loads up and sets out on a 15,000 mile trip across the U.S. to continue her healing and meet several of the people who wrote to her during her cancer journey. Very heart-wrenching, but very moving.

HEADS UP- There is a decent amount of language including a few F-bombs. Her journey begins in college, and she is a partier (drug and alcohol usage). She also lives with her boyfriend and while there is no details, sex does come up.
