Description
Ten years ago, Claire Sylvia received a complete and successful heart and lung transplant. Soon after recovering from her surgery, Claire began craving fried chicken and beer (both of which she previously disliked) and began having strange and remarkably vivid dreams about a young man she didn't know.Over the years, Claire has come to recognize the man in those dreams as the eighteen-year-old man whose heart and lungs reside in her body. She also became convinced that something far more serious and miraculous was transferred during that operation.With the expert assistance of William Novak, Claire delivers her story and those of other transplant patients with eloquence and passion. In the process, she manages to bring fascinating medical, moral, and existential issues into play.
