IN THIS LUMINOUS MEMOIR, LEGENDARY SINGER AND ACTRESS NATALIE COLE TELLS A REMARKABLE STORY OF LIFE-THREATENING ILLNESS AND RECOVERY, AND THE STORY OF A DEATH THAT BROUGHT NEW LIFE. In 2009 Natalie Cole was on dialysis, her kidneys failing. Without a kidney transplant, her future was uncertain. Throughout Natalie’s illness one of her biggest supporters was her beloved sister Cooke. But then Cooke herself became ill, with cancer. Astonishingly, as Cooke lay dying in a hospital, Natalie received a call that a kidney was available, but the surgery had to be performed immediately. Natalie couldn’t leave her sister’s side—but neither could she refuse the kidney that would save her own life. This is a story of sisters, Natalie and Cooke, but also of the sisters who made the transplant possible, Patty and Jessica. It was Jessica’s death that gave new life to Natalie, even as Natalie experienced the devastating loss of Cooke. Patty, too, suffered her own terrible loss, but when she met Natalie, she found that her sister’s spirit still lived. Through the gift of life, Natalie and Patty became sisters in spirit. Love Brought Me Back is a story of loss and recovery, sorrow and joy, success and despair—and, finally, success again. It will touch you as few memoirs ever have.
I've always loved Natalie Cole and after seeing her live in concert, my appreciation for her voice and musical skills only increased. Being interviewed she always comes across as a lovely person who is grateful for the life she has had. She may be a huge star but that seems second to being a caring human being. This book is a delight to read whether you are a fan or not! Yes, there are moments of sadness, joy and most of all total honest.Don't be looking for a book with a 1000 pages or you will be disappointed, remember it only covers two years in Natalie's life but it will bring tears to your eyes at how much can happen in such a short time. Having said that it will then make you smile at times and admire the positive attitudes of all involved. Most of all it will warm your heart with the knowledge that by keeping your faith you can get through anything that life throws at you.I have always believed that life can change in a second and this book clearly displays that is the case. I didn't want it to end but when it did I felt true admiration for Natalie and how important organ donation is. Thank you Natalie for your grateful account of how "love brought you back" and your inspirational words.
