Between Two Kingdoms: A Memoir of a Life Interrupted

As a rule, I'm hesitant to pick up cancer books—but so many trusted friends with great taste recommended this I tentatively give it a try. I'm glad I did, though I'll confess to heavily skimming in places. The author was diagnosed with leukemia just after graduating from college; this book details her road to diagnosis and inexpressibly awful treatment, and her shockingly (to her) difficult struggle to resume some kind of normal existence in the kingdom of the well. I found this book relatable in ways I didn't expect, and deeply appreciate how Jaouad put words to some experiences I've been struggling to articulate for decades.
