Between Two Kingdoms: What almost dying taught me about living

A masterpiece in storytelling…must read!!! Almost felt all the emotions in those words. Can’t believe how the author could capture every emotion so vividly and accurately.

Susu takes you through the worst life can offer you and how she manages to come out of it with courage and a lot of luck

This is a book, I will always turn to..for the language, for being authentic and the inspiration this powerful woman, Suleika, is.

I borrowed this book from the library and loved it so much I bought the hardcover because I just had to have it. It is so much more than a moving story, a transformation, a testament to living. Suleika invites us into her world in a way that is so courageous, raw and vulnerable. I get all the feels just from seeing it on my book shelf!

Between Two Kingdoms captures the complex emotions of living with illness so beautifully that you’ll be forever changed after reading this story.

I feel that the book really dives into what it is to be sick. The mental anguish seems to be as bad as the physical. Susu really paints a great picture with her words.

Suleika wrote her heart out. Her writing style is simply beautiful. Very intelligent girl. As I was reading every page I felt her pain and courage. Her will to live is tremendous. Her luck was lousy, because she got the leukemia but her luck was also fantastic because she had a wonderful man to love her, take care of her during her horrible struggles. She was a bit selfish to Will, he did everything he could, withstood a lot of her horrible treatment procedures was by her side for a long time, until it became too much. She went on by herself and made it. Once she went to remission, she decided to hit the road across America. Read the book to see why. Her road trip across America was way to hard on her body. She had just finished her horrible treatments and hit the road all alone in a used car. Brave you might say, but thoughtless I say. Very dangerous. She made the trip as a brand new driver to boot. Then she decides to stay in a cabin, again alone in the woods, no phone no nothing, again, risky. She took many chances, then the disappointment of a return of this monster that has been eating her all this time. She gets together with another wonderful man, an angel if you ask me. Jon Batiste , a great composer and fantastic musician, who loves her dearly. Again her lucky star came through. But the monster within her woke up. It started to eat her again, lucky she had her brother to give her a matching bone marrows twice. She survived both, she’s a survivor and a fighter. I admire her will. She’s a great young lady, she writes, she survives, and I wish her all the good luck she needs to pull her though this second time of hell. She has a great husband, she has life in her and the will to live which is strong. Her realistic chances are kind of low at 35% survival, but what do they know, she will prove them wrong again as only she can. I certainly wish her strength and power to beat this monster again. I admire her, really admire her. Please let her good luck take over, let her spirit guide lead her out of this illness,and let her live happily ever after and perhaps write another nice book. She’s such a beautiful girl. Jon and Suleika look great together. Love.

I couldn’t put this book down. She’s an excellent writer.
