"Raising Lazarus is the rarest kind of book -- a candid memoir of desperate illness and uncertain healing that manages, without a trace of self-pity or the common swagger of the battlefield veteran, to be both riveting as a story and profoundly encouraging to other threatened human beings: which is to say, almost everyone alive. I don't know of a man or woman who couldn't learn from it." -- Reynolds Price. "A haunting story of a man's struggle to survive . powerful." -- Kirkus Reviews. "Sometimes, illness is a conduit through which we redefine our lives. Such is the case for forty -four-year-old Robert Pensack. "Mortality, like love, is something that can come to be known only by way of experience. Through a lifetime, I have been in the process of dying," he reflects in his riveting and evocative memoir. Raising Lazarus is a portrait of life that signals one man's defiance of death, and his physical and emotional resurrection. Through the extremes of Bob Pensack's existence, we come to consider and value the true wonder of the ordinary in our own lives. At age four Pensack lost his mother to HCM, an enigmatic cardiac condition, and at age fifteen was himself diagnosed with the disease, which has hannted a bloodline for three generations. Raising Lazarus chronicles Pensack's journey to overcome his failing body through the will of his mind and the strength of his soul. In order to save himself, he determines to become a doctor -- and his own best patient. But after undergoing multiple surgeries in his twenties -- one of which leaves a hole in his heart -- Pensack realizes he cannot become a surgeon. The training is far too taxing physically, and he is in a constant struggle with incapacitating fear and debilitating emotional disorders that result from the many horrors he has endured. Probing for the foundation of his mental instabilities, Pensack becomes a psychiatrist and reveals the intertwining of mind and body. He eventually surmises that "physical injuries are mere flesh wounds; it is the psychological terror bred in my past that is most lethal." Finally, Pensack must have a heart transplant in order to survive, and thus begins his agonizing wait for a donor heart, followed by the unimaginable consequences, both physical and psychological, of such an ordeal. Through this barbaric feat of modern medicine -- and moreover through the strength and support of his wife and children, who have joined him in the passing years -- Pensack comes to see the universality of life: how we are all connected, why it matters, and what is our potential. While waiting for a donor heart for transplant, Pensack met the writer Dwight Arnan Williams. After hundreds of hours of interviews, and having accompanied Pensack into the operating room for the transplant surgery itself, Williams collaborated further with Pensack to compose the narrative that traces the heroic journey of a man confronting the frailty and the preciousness of life." -- from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Dwight Arnan Williams is the recipient of the 1989 Jovanovich Award for short fiction. He too lives in Steamboat Springs.
