Between two kingdoms

Product details

In the summer of her college graduation, Salika Jawad was preparing, as they say at graduation ceremonies, for "real life." She had fallen in love and moved to Paris to pursue her dream of becoming a war correspondent. But the real life she found would take her to a different kind of conflict zone. A diagnosis of leukemia with a 35% chance of survival shattered the dream she had envisioned. By the time Salika returned home to New York, she had lost her job, her apartment, and her freedom. She was destined to spend more than four years in a hospital bed, fighting for her life and writing a long and arduous story in her column for The New York Times.
