Transplant 35th Anniversary Edition

Book excerpt: “TRANSPLANT is not just a book about heart disease (any more than First, You Cry is just a book about breast cancer). It’s about people – and they get to you. It’s a touching, sweet, tough book – and it rings true.” -BETTY ROLLIN “I got utterly hooked – it’s Edith and Archie Bunker catapulted to greatness by an existential crisis they could never have dreamed of. A testament to the miracle of people growing, almost in spite of themselves. Very gripping and moving.” – EDA LeSHAN “TRANSPLANT is a very moving account of how a family responded to the terrible stresses of severe heart disease. If the Hurleys are the ordinary people they would seem to be, there is hope for the human race. Transplant shows that humor, courage, wisdom, and tolerance are alive and well. It’s a fine book.” – WILLIAM A. NOLEN, M.D. Philip Dossick is one of America’s finest writers. - DAVID SUSSKIND
