I will gladly email anyone willing to do a review a pdf of my book. AristotlesPride@mac.com.
My book is the true story of my struggle to find an answer to the U.S. organ shortage. My search takes me to Iran -- where I filmed without government permission -- trying to find answers to why in the United States 20-30 people die every day because they can't get a kidney transplant and in Iran, in some places, there are waiting lists to be a donor?
“Sigrid Fry-Revere has given us an amazing, courageous, provocative, even dangerous look at the complex and generally successful system of selling/donation that has solved the kidney supply problem in Iran. Eloquently, humorously written, it is one of my best reads in years–fascinating to anyone who loves a good travel adventure story, but essential for anyone interested in overcoming the organ transplant problem that costs thousands of lives each year.” — Robert Veatch, Ph.D., Professor of Medical Ethics at the Kennedy Institute of Ethics and Fellow of the Hastings Center
"In THE KIDNEY SELLERS, Fry-Revere shows considerable strengths as a nonfiction writer. She is a keen observer of details in surroundings, events, and people. The reader is caught up in her personal drama of anxieties, impressions, and reactions to events. The history, culture, and current political climate of Iran is interspersed liberally throughout the book so that the reader can better understand why Iranians are motivated to act as they do and why the current kidney donor system was enacted." — New York Journal of Books
“Sigrid’s journey...reads like a novel blended with a captivating news article that you quite literally cannot put down…I give the book a very strong five stars.” — Rogue Reviews
"A compelling case for an unorthodox solution to a wide-spread healthcare problem" — Kirkus Reviews
