Synopsis
...a true-life 'Steel Magnolias"
In a routine medical exam in preparation for summer camp in 1976, 10-year-old Ina Swedler was diagnosed with diabetes. When Ina's kidneys later failed her because of diabetes, Ina's mother Sarah was found to be a perfect match for organ donation. But Ina, reluctant to cause her mother harm in any way, refused this offer of a kidney. Instead she chose another route, one she hoped would free her of the disease forever...
This book is a celebration of a brave daughter's life, from the perspective of a mother. It's about a mother and daughter struggling against an illness, not always in step, but always together. It's about a mother trying to keep her daughter's memory alive, about a mother trying to overcome her own devastation. There is a bit of Ina in every daughter, and a bit of Sarah in all mothers.

Review
Ina literally squeezed every ounce out of life that she could...the message of her life is a very clear one. That message is that you take in life what is dealt to you and you try to make the very best of it. That is the way she lived. That was her life... her enduring memory will inspire us all, to live life the "Ina way" which is really the only way: to the full. -- Rabbi Dr. Reuven Bulka
