Details: Product Description ​ Saved by a Stranger is an honest, down-to-earth, informative book inspiring hope, perseverance, and triumph for those who are facing the need for a new organ. Through great storytelling, the author helps patients and caregivers feel empowered as they face the challenges of the unknown. After battling a rare autoimmune disorder called Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC) for 18 years, which led to cirrhosis, author Lezlee Peterzell-Bellanich’s husband, Capt. Rob finally received his life-saving liver transplant on September 10, 2020, at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida. Today, he looks and feels like a healthy man with a new engine inside of him. I wrote this to help me get through this difficult time and encourage everyone to sign up for Organ donation. About the Author After 18 years of marriage, the life of Lezlee Peterzell-Bellanich, singer/songwriter and business owner, took a dramatic turn. Saved by a Stranger is the story of her husband’s harrowing quest for a liver transplant. With their two children, the Bellanich family temporarily relocated from New York to Florida during the height of the Covid pandemic. This bold additional upheaval would increase Rob’s chances of receiving a deceased organ. Meeting weekly with fellow transplant patients and caregivers at Mayo Clinic’s support group, the couple found solace and encouragement from these survivors’ stories.
