Synopsis
Struck by a fatal disease, her life saved by a heart and lung transplant, Claire Sylvia emerged from her near-death experience feeling like a different person, with different tastes, sensations, even memories. Prompted by a dream, she sought the family of the young man whose heart now pumped in her chest. And when she did, she discovered the mysterious realm where two humans became as one. Now she shares her story and cites new scientific evidence, as she leads us on a journey to a new understanding of who we are.
Library Journal
Sylvia gets more than a new heart after a transplant operation: she finds she has acquired the tastes and desires of the 18-year-old boy who was her donor.
