The Bookcase is pleased to welcome Suzanne Ruff to our store on Sunday, May 2 at 2:00 in the afternoon.

Ms. Ruff will be on hand to read from, discuss, and sign copies of her book The Reluctant Donor.

The only sibling with healthy kidneys, Suzanne is ambivalent about donating a kidney to a sister she's not even sure she likes -- but she makes the offer. Eight family members, including her mother, have died from the disease. Now her sisters have PKD, and each needs kidney transplants. The Reluctant Donor exposes Suzanne's doubts, raw fear, and strong Irish Catholic family history. Her terror at the prospect of surgery is offset by her wonder at the small miracles that surround her. Inspired by her faith and the courage of those who came before her, Suzanne Ruff navigates uncertainty with humor and honesty.
