Biography & Memoir Book Club: “Between Two Kingdoms”

Join the Through Their Eyes Book Club in reading “Between Two Kingdoms” by Suleika Jaouard. Just a few weeks shy of her twenty-third birthday, a diagnosis: leukemia, with a 35 percent chance of survival. Just like that, the life she had imagined for herself had gone up in flames.

After four years, in a hospital bed fighting for her survival and chronicling the saga in a column for The New York Times, Jaouard embarked—with her new best friend, Oscar, a scruffy terrier mutt—on a 100-day, 15,000-mile road trip across the country. She set out to meet some of the strangers who had written to her during her years in the hospital. “Between Two Kingdoms” is a profound chronicle of survivorship and a fierce, tender, and inspiring exploration of what it means to begin again.
