This author is like the Virginia Slims mantra - "You've come a long way, baby." She shares the account of her experiences as a young woman who lost her kidneys to an antibiotic, telling of the challenges and obstacles she faced along the way and of her success over health and having another chance at life. Her story shows that no matter what you are going through, there is someone whose situation is worse and encourages you to NEVER give up. She hopes her story will inspire and give hope to those with kidney disease or failure, on dialysis, awaiting a transplant, or perhaps, recently having received a transplant from a living or nonliving donor, as well as the general reader.
