The recipient of a successful heart and lung transplant offers a remarkable personal account of the search for her donor, her surgery, and her gradual acceptance of the unexplained presence--including memories, dreams, cravings, and feelings--of her young donor within herself. 250,000 first printing. Tour.
After a heart and lung transplant operation, dancer Claire Sylvia discovered that new organs were not the only thing she inherited. Never having liked such foods as beer and chicken nuggets, she suddenly started craving them. After an extraordinary dream, she seeks out the family of her donor -- a teenaged boy who died in a motorcycle accident -- and learns that it is indeed possible for two souls to merge in one body.
"This is a story that must be told and heard...a fascinating example of how cellular memory can outlive physical death". -- Deepak Chopra, M.D.
