520    An Emmy Award-winning writer and activist describes the 
       harrowing years she spent in early adulthood fighting 
       leukemia and how she learned to live again while forging 
       connections with other survivors of profound illness and 
       suffering. 
520    A few weeks shy of her twenty-third birthday, Jaouad 
       received a diagnosis of leukemia, with a 35 percent chance
       of survival. She would spend much of the next four years 
       in a hospital bed, fighting for her life and chronicling 
       the saga in a column for The New York Times. After 
       countless rounds of chemo, a clinical trial, and a bone 
       marrow transplant she learned that a cure is not where the
       work of healing ends; it's where it begins. How could she 
       reclaim what had been lost? Jaouad embarked on a 100-day, 
       15,000-mile road trip across the country. This is her 
       inspiring exploration of what it means to begin again. --
