BETWEEN TWO KINGDOMS

BETWEEN TWO KINGDOMS, a searing, deeply moving memoir of illness and recovery that traces one young woman's journey from diagnosis to remission and, ultimately, a road trip of healing and self-discovery.

At 22, just as her friends were setting foot on the path to adulthood, Suleika was diagnosed with leukemia and confined to a hospital bed, her dreams of becoming a war correspondent replaced by a battle for her own life. Instead of reporting from the Middle East or Africa, she wrote and spoke from the front lines of her own body in a series of columns and videos for the New York Times called Life, Interrupted that produced countless comments from patients and survivors, Millennials and octogenarians, the well-off and the homeless you name it all drawn to support this courageous and articulate young woman. Now, at the age of 27 and celebrating her first year of remission, Suleika and her dog Oscar are just weeks away from embarking on an adventure that her 22-year old self never could have imagined: an epic road trip that will take them around the country to meet the people whose words and life stories sustained her most during her three-and-a-half years of treatment. Between Two Kingdoms will be an unprecedented chronicle of survivorship that offers an intimate portrayal of what it means to begin anew. Suleika Jaouad is an Emmy Award-winning columnist, advocate, public speaker and cancer survivor. In addition to her Life, Interrupted column and video series for the New York Times, she has also written for Vogue, Glamour, Women's Health, and The Huffington Post, and was listed among Mogul's "35 Under 35" most influential and innovative young women worldwide. She has been featured in NPR's Talk of the Nation and All Things Considered, NBC's Weekend Today Show, CBS News, The Paris Review, Into The Gloss, the Los Angeles Times and Vogue.
