Opis

Judith Somers suffers from kidney failure and must undergo dialysis three times a week. She hates every minute of it. Then Bob, a coworker, eagerly offers to be her donor. What person in kidney failure wouldn't be overjoyed to receive a kidney from a live donor?

Gloria Robinson's "The Donor" takes you through Judith's quandary. She needs the kidney, but though Bob's offer thrills her, it also makes her uncomfortable. After all, he's not a friend, and she doesn't know him very well. Is he just a good guy, or is there an underlying motive behind his seemingly selfless offer? If she accepts his offer, she can have her life back. She can travel again, without having to arrange for treatment in another city or state. If she turns down his offer, she'll be tied to a dialysis machine for years until she reaches the top of the transplant waiting list. If she lives that long.

"The Donor" takes you through a difficult decision and its aftermath. Like Judith, you'll learn things are not always as they seem.
