The Organ Donor Experience
With a current US need of over 115,000 organs one would think that Good Samaritan donors would be welcomed with open arms by transplant centers and society in general; however, this is often not the case. Tell someone that you have donated an organ to a stranger and the reaction is likely to be one of astonishment and disbelief. Some doctors even consider people who offer their organs to strangers crazy. Why would anyone do that? Who are these people so committed to helping others-strangers-that they would undergo surgery, discomfort, and disruption of their lives? This book profiles donors who have offered their organs to strangers and helps readers understand the meanings behind their donations. For the donor, altruism should always be the primary motivation, though other motivations often come into play. Often, there are also subconscious reasons for performing this great act of kindness. The Organ Donor Experience gives living anonymous organ donors of kidneys, liver lobes, and lung lobes the opportunity to tell their stories as they understand them, and for others to understand the motivations and the meaning of true altruism.

Welcome to the adventures of three young cousins, Joe, Dennis, and Susan Craig, as they explore caves, chase monsters, expose unethical treatment of animals, and visit a 150-year-old antebellum home. Through the three stories, the reader will come to love the characters--Joe for his brains, Dennis for his brute strength, and Susan for her no-nonsense bold style. The cousins originally grew up in towns close enough to spend time as children in the woods at a make-believe playground called Robin's Cliff. However, in reality, Robin's Cliff was nothing more than a huge gully, carved out by erosion, out in the middle of the Mississippi woods. Robin's Cliff soon became a magical spot as the kids regularly met there to play and let their imaginations run wild. The sleuthing skills attained at Robin's Cliff enable the youngsters to deal with several grown-up challenges with great success.
