Suleika Jaouad was in college when her battle with leukemia started. In Between Two Kingdoms, Jaouad shows us how her illness impacted her family and the loving, youthful relationship that carried her through her treatment. When she had to be isolated during treatment, she filled her days with painting and journaling. Upon being declared cancer-free, Jaouad takes a road trip around the country, connecting with those who reached out during her periods of isolation.
