Suleika Jaouad, BETWEEN TWO KINGDOMS: A Memoir of a Life Interrupted

from Totally Booked with Zibby

"We tell the story we need to tell, and we have no business trying to avoid it." When Suleika Jaouad was twenty-two years old, she was diagnosed with leukemia and was only given a thirty-five percent chance to live. As she moved through her twenties and from the kingdom of the sick to that of the well, Suleika documented her life in both a personal journal and a column in the New York Times. Now, she shares her journey in Between Two Kingdoms, one of Zibby's favorite memoirs to date, and challenges readers to live their lives in technicolor even when everything has been upended.Purchase on Amazon or Bookshop.Amazon: https://amzn.to/3x9HoBVBookshop: https://bit.ly/3ycPPfR Hosted on Acast.
