    About this ebook

    Get the Summary of Suleika Jaouad's Between Two Kingdoms in 20 minutes. Please note: This is a summary & not the original book. Original book introduction: When Jaouad finally walked out of the cancer ward - after three and a half years of chemo, a clinical trial, and a bone marrow transplant - she was, according to the doctors, cured. But as she would soon learn, a cure is not where the work of healing ends; it’s where it begins. She had spent the past 1,500 days in desperate pursuit of one goal - to survive. And now that she’d done so, she realized that she had no idea how to live.

    How would she reenter the world and live again? How could she reclaim what had been lost? Jaouad embarked - with her new best friend, Oscar, a scruffy terrier mutt - on a 100-day, 15,000-mile road trip across the country. She set out to meet some of the strangers who had written to her during her years in the hospital: a teenage girl in Florida also recovering from cancer; a teacher in California grieving the death of her son; a death-row inmate in Texas who’d spent his own years confined to a room. What she learned on this trip is that the divide between sick and well is porous, that the vast majority of us will travel back and forth between these realms throughout our lives. Between Two Kingdoms is a profound chronicle of survivorship and a fierce, tender, and inspiring exploration of what it means to begin again.

      #2

      After graduating from Princeton University, Suleika moved to New York City for a summer internship at the Center for Constitutional Rights. However, she later quit after deciding that New York was choking her. She needed a change of scenery.

      #3

      She impulsively applied for a paralegal position in a law firm in Paris. Shortly before leaving for good, after a 5 a.m. party, she met a young man, Will, while waiting for a taxi. They quickly clicked, but Suleika had to move and couldn’t get to know him
