Larry Booth's New Book "Catching Our Breath: A Story of Transplant" is the Story of One Man Who Received the Ultimate Gift, and His Promise to Make It Count
New York, NY, December 14, 2016 (Newswire.com) - Larry Booth, a 73 year old man who does not have the word “can’t” in his vocabulary, has completed his most recent book “Catching Our Breath: A Story of Transplant”: a fabulous and inspired story comprised of one part transplant recipient memoir, and one part gripping science fiction short story.
Larry has been blessed with a can do attitude. He says, “I am determined, focused, persistent, and absolutely love a good challenge. When faced with a problem, I approach it from every angle until I find the solution.”
Published by Fulton Books, Larry Booth’s book chronicles that on June 18, 2011, forty-eight hours away from death, Larry Booth received the gift of life. On that morning, after a six-hour operation at Stanford Hospital, Larry received a successful double lung transplant from a fourteen-year-old girl who had made the decision; she wanted to help people go on if she couldn’t.
What follows in these pages is a narration of the six-year struggle Larry endured to not only stay alive, but to also find the true nature of his disease. He went from doctor to doctor as he experienced different symptoms—from clinical trials to VATS surgery for biopsy. It was the summer of 2009, and after self-diagnosis and medical guessing, he ended up at Stanford Hospital and clinics.
Readers will follow Larry through The Disease, The Transplant Window, and Transplant Recovery, and get a true picture of what it is like to not know if today is the last day.
The final part is a fast-paced short story playing with the theory of cellular memory. What if transplanted lungs could reason, use logic, had emotions, could sense things, and were able to communicate with the host brain? It is filled with humor and suspense and chase scenes. It’s a real cops-and-robbers kind of read.
Readers who wish to experience this charming and inspired work can purchase “Catching Our Breath: A Story of Transplant” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play or Barnes and Noble.
