Book Describes Woman's Difficulties Waiting for Husband's Heart Transplant

A new first-person book describes the emotional and logistical difficulties that a North Carolina woman faced during the six months that her husband was in the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio awaiting a heart transplant.

"Life In Limbo, Waiting for a Heart Transplant" is a first-hand account by Lisa Stiles Nance of her experience in single-parenting the couple's two teenagers, running her husband's business, and visiting him in a hospital 500 miles from home.

“Lisa’s beautifully written book captures the difficulty, uncertainty, and pain of waiting for a second chance at life for a loved one," said Jane Corrado, Communications Director for Carolina Donor Services. "Through recollections, poetry, and personal philosophies, she recounts her feelings of fear, anger, loss, sorrow, hope, and joy in a moving and poignant way. Those in similar circumstances should find her insights reassuring and helpful."

Life In Limbo, Waiting for a Heart Transplant (ISBN 0-595-29772-2, iUniverse, Inc.) is available online at iUniverse.com, Amazon, com, BarnesandNoble.com, and other standard and online bookstores.

"My hope is that it will offer comfort and support to those sharing the difficult journey to transplant with a loved one who is among the more than 82,000 people on the national transplant list,” Nance said.
