A poignant portrait of family, love and loss.

Memoirs written by regular people are always so much deeper to me than anything written by a celebrity.

This was short, but will with heart.

This book told a very unique story. I found it interesting that, in the author's note at the end, Gance specifically says that he hopes the reader realizes that he told his story in order to tell his sister's story. This was my entire thought while I was reading the book - that the story seemed to be much more about his sister's life rather than about his "second life". However, I did find the writing to be very simplistic even while the story was original.

An absolutely beautiful memoir about the author’s journey after a kidney transplant, and carrying on his sister’s/donor’s memory. I loved every word and this book will stick with me for a long time.

Keeping a Piece of Her" by Bob Gance is a heartfelt memoir about the author's journey with a challenging medical diagnosis. After completing his first marathon in 1982, Bob discovered he had Alport syndrome, a genetic condition that led to irreversible kidney failure. This diagnosis marked the beginning of an improbable life path.
