Jim Stavis was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 17. Decades later, his heart, kidney, and pancreas were failing. His team at Cedars-Sinai told him a triple-organ transplant had never been attempted — and Jim said yes anyway.
That transplant is only part of the story. Before it, Jim survived four separate near-death incidents and built two companies from the ground up. After it, he spent twenty years building a relationship with the family of the sixteen-year-old donor who saved his life. And in 2024, he became a caregiver himself when his wife Renee was diagnosed with a terminal illness. Her self-written eulogy, tracing her resilience back to her father's survival of the Holocaust, is reproduced in full in this newly revised edition.
"Honest, moving, and an invaluable source of hope." —Kirkus Reviews
