...a true-life 'Steel Magnolias"

In a routine medical exam in preparation for summer camp in 1976, 10-year-old Ina Swedler was diagnosed with diabetes. When Ina's kidneys later failed her because of diabetes, Ina's mother Sarah was found to be a perfect match for organ donation. But Ina, reluctant to cause her mother harm in any way, refused this offer of a kidney. Instead she chose another route, one she hoped would free her of the disease forever...

This book is a celebration of a brave daughter's life, from the perspective of a mother. It's about a mother and daughter struggling against an illness, not always in step, but always together. It's about a mother trying to keep her daughter's memory alive, about a mother trying to overcome her own devastation. There is a bit of Ina in every daughter, and a bit of Sarah in all mothers.
