Grammy® Award-winning singer and acclaimed actress Natalie Cole shares a powerful memoir of family and love, heartbreak and healing.
In 2009, Natalie Cole was on dialysis, her kidneys failing, and she needed a transplant badly. She received much support during her illness, especially from her beloved sister, Cookie. Then Cookie was diagnosed with non-curable cancer. As Cookie lay dying in a hospital, Natalie constantly at her side, Natalie received a call that a kidney was available, but the surgery had to be performed immediately. Natalie couldn’t bear to leave her sister—but if she refused the kidney, she herself would not survive. The surgery to save Natalie occurred while Cookie’s life slipped away….
This is a story of sisters, but not simply Natalie and Cookie. Patty and Jessica were also sisters, and it was Jessica’s untimely death and organ donation that gave new life to Natalie. Like Natalie, Patty suffered her own terrible loss, but when she met Natalie, she found that her sister’s spirit still lived, and Natalie and Patty became sisters in spirit. Natalie’s powerful, heart-wrenching story of loss and recovery, sorrow and joy, despair and hope will touch you as few memoirs ever have.
