Twenty one year old Laura Rothenberg has always tried to live a normal life even with lungs that betray her, and a sober awareness that she may not live to see her next birthday.

A moving account by an extraordinary young woman who mounts a daily struggle with cystic fibrosis in an effort to lead an ordinary life. Twenty-one-year-old Laura Rothenberg has always tried to live a normal life--even with lungs that betray her, and a sober awareness that she may not live to see her next birthday. Like most people born with cystic fibrosis, the chronic disease that affects lungs and other organs, Rothenberg struggles to come to grips with a life that has already been compromised in many ways. Sometimes healthy and able to go to school, other times hospitalized for months on end, Rothenberg finds solace in keeping a diary. In her writing, she can be open, honest, and irreverent, like the young person she is. Yet mixed in with this voice is an incredible maturity about her mortality. The memoir opens with Rothenberg's decision to accept a lung transplant. From the waiting--and all it implies to the surgery, recovery, and her new life, Rothenberg muses on mortality in journal entries and poetry. Through it all, she reveals a will and temperament that is strong and wise despite her years. Laura Rothenberg's story, recorded and shared on NPR's Radio Diaries, was awarded the prestigious Third Coast Audio Festival Award, it also received an unprecedented listener response and generated more e-mail than any other story the producers could recall. Rothenberg's story was also featured in the New York Times and U.S. News & World Report.Binding Type: Paperback

Great product !!!
Size: 8.8" x 9.3" x 1.2"
The product was in great shape when delivered. Even though the package was thin as it is the delivery was made with card and all was well with product. The instructions were good to use and change in my car. Also it showed the make of vehicle so I won’t be confused at all. Overall it was a great buy

Fits my Accord perfectly!
Size: 8.8" x 9.3" x 1.2"
Fits my 2008 Accord perfectly and feels just as sturdy as the OEM I used before, which cost nearly twice as much. Plus, it includes activated carbon, something the OEM didn’t have.
