520    A donor mother's powerful memoir of grief and rebirth that
       is also a fascinating medical science whodunit, taking us 
       inside the world of organ, eye, tissue, and blood donation
       and cutting-edge scientific research. When Sarah Gray 
       received the devastating news that her unborn son Thomas 
       was diagnosed with anencephaly, a terminal condition, she 
       decided she wanted his death-and life-to have meaning. In 
       the weeks before she gave birth to her twin sons in 2010, 
       she arranged to donate Thomas's organs. Due to his low 
       birth weight, they would go to research rather than 
       transplant. As transplant donors have the opportunity to 
       meet recipients, Sarah wanted to know how Thomas's 
       donation would be used. That curiosity fueled a scientific
       odyssey that leads Sarah to some of the most prestigious 
       scientific facilities in the country, including Harvard, 
       Duke, and the University of Pennsylvania. Pulling back the
       curtain of protocol and confidentiality, she introduces 
       the researchers who received Thomas's donations, held his 
       liver in their hands, studied his cells under the 
       microscope. Sarah's journey to find solace and 
       understanding takes her beyond her son's donations-
       offering a breathtaking overview of the world of medical 
       research and the valiant scientists on the horizon of 
       discovery. She goes behind the scenes at organ procurement
       organizations, introducing skilled technicians for whom 
       death means saving lives, empathetic counselors, and the 
       brilliant minds who are finding surprising and inventive 
       ways to treat and cure disease through these donations. 
       She also shares the moving stories of other donor 
       families. A Life Everlasting is an unforgettable testament
       to hope, a tribute to life and discovery, and a portrait 
       of unsung heroes pushing the boundaries of medical science
       for the benefit of all humanity.
