ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Between Two Kingdoms: A Memoir of a Life Interrupted," by Suleika Jaouad, is a powerful memoir that chronicles the author's journey through a life-altering experience. At age 22, Jaouad is diagnosed with leukemia, forcing her to confront her mortality and the limitations of her body. Confined to a hospital bed, she finds solace in writing and in the letters she receives from strangers who are also navigating illness, loss, and the complexities of life. Determined to reclaim her life, Jaouad embarks on a 100-day road trip to meet these individuals, her journey a metaphor for her healing process as she confronts her fears and embraces the uncertainty of the future. Through her encounters with fellow survivors, artists, activists, and even a death row inmate, Jaouad explores the diverse ways in which people find resilience and meaning in the face of adversity.
