As seen in AMERICAN SYMPHONY on Netflix with Jon Batiste'A propulsive soulful story of
mourning and gratitude - and an intimate portrait of one woman's sojourn in the wilderness
between life and death.' TARA WESTOVER author of Educated__________We all face moments that
bring us to our knees: heartbreak trauma illness. When things don't go to plan this is the
book to reach for - an inspirational memoir about what we can learn about life from a brush
with death. At just twenty-two on the cusp of adult life Suleika Jaouad was diagnosed with
leukemia and given a 35 per cent chance of survival. For the next five years her world
comprised four white walls a hospital bed fluorescent lights tubes and wires. She became
patient 5624. At twenty-seven and celebrating her first year of remission Suleika realized
that having survived she now had no idea how to live. And so she set out to meet some of the
many strangers who had written to her about their experiences of life death healing and
recovery in response to her Emmy-Award winning New York Times column 'Life Interrupted'.
Between Two Kingdoms is the result. Drawing on Suleika's TED Talk 'What almost dying taught me
about living' with over 4 million views it illuminates universal questions about how we live
mourn heal and grow up and what it means to begin again. __________Praise for Between Two
