Life In Limbo
Nance is unbelievably honest in sharing her innermost feelings and thoughts throughout this book. She shows us that through faith, family and friends there is always a "light at the end of the tunnel".Her poetry adds a special touch to her story. I was especially moved by "Last Kiss".This book will be an inspiration for anyone facing a medical crisis.

Life In Limbo
Life In Limbo is a priceless gift for anyone going through a transplant with a loved one and a touching story for anyone that's not. Through Lisa Nance's intimate account of what she and her family endured we learn what it takes to survive a catastrophic life changing event.Life In Limbo will touch your heart in such a true and honest way that you should give this book to everyone you care about.

The Best of Times, the Worst of Times
Lisa Stiles Nance has had the courage, tenacity, and faith to survive one of life's more terrifying experiences -- and the talent and artistry to share with us the wisdom that she gained from her family's ordeal.Life in Limbo provides a practical, sensitive, life-saving guide for people who've been swept into the strange and difficult world of catastrophic illness.With the book, both patient and family will find the entire exhausting process less frightening and, miraculously, more hopeful.Life in Limbo is a wondrous revelation.My gratitude and continuing encouragement to Ms. Nance.

Touched my heart
Not only does this book appeal to readers who are not in a crisis situation, it is insightful and honest in it's approach to what a family goes through waiting for a loved one to recieve an organ, specifically a heart.The writer immediately pulled me into her circumstances.It is written in a way that I understood what she was going through as a wife, living through this experience her husband was having.I see through her eyes the fear and the hope, the pain and the sorrow, and her faith in the Lord to pull her together to take care of her husband and their children, her home and their life.I honestly recommend thisvaluable and insightful tool for anyone involved in waiting for a transplant, or anyone involved in this process. ...
