Transplanted is an honest, frank and unsentimental memoir about a life-threatening leukemia diagnosis and an against-all-odds recovery. Birgit Lennertz Sarrimanolis is a skilled writer. She packs the pages with the kind of medical and logistical details anyone dealing with cancer in Alaska will appreciate, and yet this is no "how to" manual. Her story is deeply personal-and that is why it moved my heart and gave me hope. -Heather Lende, Alaska State Writer Laureate and author of Of Bears And Ballots and Find The Good
An exhilarating read, Transplanted is a braided story chronicling the author's excruciating battle with cancer against the backdrop of Alaska's far northern landscape, a place of wild contradictions and inclement weather. Engulfed in a wilderness of her own, made up of multiple hospitalizations and the weight of exhaustion and pain, the author takes refuge in the healing powers of the hills, trees, sky and trails she has so vividly come to love...The author's eloquent language and crisp attentiveness to place, shine, both lyrically and poetically. As sure as permafrost resists the melt, she fights long and hard to regain her health, though her life will never be the same again. Quiet triumph can be found in the fog of loss, and this author artfully shows us how. -Monica Devine, Author of Water Mask
One woman's account - lyrical, moving, occasionally quite funny - of making her home in the Far North, only to find that the wilderness was inside her. -Jennifer Brice, author of Unlearning To Fly
