Suleika Jaouad's 'Between Two Kingdoms' offers an unflinching view of her grueling battle with leukemia and the unexpected challenges of recovery. Graduating from college and poised to conquer the world as a journalist in Paris, Jaouad's dreams are cut short by a devastating diagnosis at age 22 -- leukemia, with slim chances of survival. Over four years of hospital confinement, endless chemotherapy, trials, and a life-saving bone marrow transplant, she shares her journey through her New York Times column, becoming an emblem of strength for many. Upon her declared remission, Jaouad confronts the overlooked ordeal of relearning to live. She embarks on a transformative 15,000-mile road trip alongside Oscar, her terrier mutt, to meet the strangers who connected with her story, gaining insights into the fragile boundary between illness and health, and what it entails to start anew. In this memoir, Jaouad eloquently navigates the interstice of mortality and vitality, wielding her narrative like a beacon for anyone entangled in life's inexorable adversities.
