"Rachel has truly made her heart filled voice jump from the pages that contain her brilliantly written story."

J. RANDY JOHNSON, AUTHOR AND RETIRED TRADE UNIONIST WITH THE UNITED STEELWORKERS INTERNATIONAL UNION 

"This book offers a fascinating and enjoyable look into a world that most people do not even know exists. It shows you this world from the point of view of an ordinary person discovering it for the first time." 

DAN CRAGAN, PLAYWRIGHT, COMPOSER, KIDNEY AND PANCREAS TRANSPLANT  RECIPIENT 

"Well now, here’s a present-day antidote for – as Thomas Paine once put it -- “the times that try men’s souls”.  Rachel writes about her quintessentially human journey toward a brighter tomorrow.  Her memoir is well-written and memorable on its own as a story of self-discovery, but its depth is profoundly spiritual.  An inspiration during our troubled times."

DENNING POWELL, CO-AUTHOR OF SCIENCE FICTION TRILOGY MONKEY TRAP, HIDING HAND AND SPLINTERED LIGHT 

"Rachel is the real deal.  A genuine generous heart, she does the research to meet her goals, one of which was to start a chain by donating her kidney.  A later goal was to write a book about it.  For such a private person, Rachel opens up about her family history, her current family, friends and colleagues, and her place in the world -- and the actions she's willing to take to change the world.  I want to be like Rachel -- you will too!"

BETH BERRY, AUTHOR OF HAIKU FRENZY, ENDOMETRIAL AND KIDNEY CANCER SURVIVOR

"An insightful and inspiring must read!"

RITA JOHNSON, AVID READER, NON-FICTION ENTHUSIAST
