My review of "Larry's Kidney" by Larry's Kidney: Being the True Story of How I Found Myself in China with My Black Sheep Cousin and His Mail-Order Bride, Skirting the Law to Get Him a Transplant -- and Save His Life, by Daniel Asa Rose was published in today's edition of The Birmingham News.
"Larry Feldman had been on kidney dialysis more than two years and needed a transplant. Since he was on a list behind 74,000 others looking for the same organ, Feldman decided to try his luck in China... Rose and Feldman had been estranged more than 15 years. Reuniting over Feldman's ill health, Rose reluctantly meets him in Beijing. Because it is against Chinese law for Americans to receive organ transplants, the two cousins must dodge the police and government spies to save Feldman's life. Through a series of coincidences and clandestine meetings, a hospital in a town outside of Beijing agrees to perform the illegal surgery."
