About this product
Product Information
A memoir of Ofri's life and work which incorporates moving stories about her own family and people living and dying in the foreign country we call home. From a Nigerian survivor of torture whose face has been destroyed by an acid attack to a Latina mother who desperately needs a heart transplant butcannot get one because she's undocumented, Dr. Ofri's patients teach volumes about the resilience of immigrants as they navigate an unfamiliar and sometimes inhospitable health care system.

Sarah Halzack, Washington Pos t "Danielle Ofri's new work presents the reader with artfully controlled chaos. . . . Brisk, fast-paced, and organized with an eye both to variety and recurrence."Rachel Hadas, Times Literary Supplement "Her writing tumbles forth with color and emotion. She demonstrates an ear for dialogue, a humility about the limits of her medical training, and an extraordinary capacity to be touched by human suffering."--Jan Gardner, Boston Globe, "Danielle Ofri is a finely gifted writer, a born storyteller as well as a born physician."-Oliver Sacks, MD, author of The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat "A gifted storyteller, Ofri provides vivid details that bring readers right into the exam room with her . . . describing how her patients' histories stirred her to practice medicine more compassionately, inspired her with their hope and fortitude." ─Sarah Halzack, Washington Post "Danielle Ofri's new work presents the reader with artfully controlled chaos. . . .

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
