Tick Tock: No Time to Lose
This spellbinding novel reveals a stunning, provocative account of an emergency life- saving liver transplant that leaves the author in a five week coma. The author uses exerpts from her childhood, teen, and adult experiences to illustrate how they prepare her to withstand profuse bleeding, a stroke, and the ability to come out of her lenghty sleep. The testimony is sprinkled with uplifting humor and helps the reader to understand how perseverance, divine intervention, and timeless optimism helps one to overcome catastrophic experiences. One year after her traumatic experience, she returns to her professiona as a public school administrator, strong and prepared to continue her phenomenal reputation as a no non-sense high school leader. The novel is a perfect literary example of man vs. the universe. The author now shares her experience in multiple venues to support liver and organ transplants across the nation.
