If she wanted to live, she had to take on the grueling quest for a new heart - immediately. A shot at survival meant uprooting her life and moving across the country to California. When her friends heard of her plans, there was only one reaction: "I'm there." Nine remarkable women put demanding jobs and pressing family obligations on hold to fly across the country and be by Amy's side. Creating a calendar spreadsheet, the women - some of them strangers to one another - passed the baton of friendship one to the next and headed straight and strong into the battle to help save Amy's life. 541 $d 20210922. 600 14 $a Silverstein, Amy $x Health. 600 14 $a Silverstein, Amy. 650 $a Health. 650 $a Heart $x Patients $x Patients $z United States $v Biography. 650 $a Heart $x Patients. $x Patients. 650 $a Female friendship. 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY $x Medical. 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY $x Personal Memoirs. 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY $x Women. 651 $a United States. 655 7 $a NonFiction. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. 655 7 $a Biographies. 941 $a 2 952 $l CPPC926 $d 20231111014117.0 952 $l BNPD611 $d 20211214010424.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8D9592545CAB11EC8CCC037D25ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
