Synopsis

Two Rare Birds: A Legacy of Love is an inspirational memoir that traces the spiritual journey Lily Myers Kaplan took following her sister’s death from a fourteen-year battle with brain cancer. Her brother-in-law, Dave, followed nine months later, after ten years of colon cancer. Lily recounts their in-tandem cancer journey with Dave’s words as a guiding maxim:

To me it’s a double love story. We’re shortchanging it to say it’s just about cancer; there’s so much more to it than that. Others would see six cancers in eleven years between two people, but to me THAT is not the story. It’s not about physical hardship; it’s about all the growth and changes that have come with it.

An entirely thoughtful and profoundly honest story, Two Rare Birds tracks Lily through the long tunnel of grief. With a listening heart, she examines her ancestral heritage, giving meaning to the joys and struggles she faced with her sister over the years.

As their fates unfold, Lily finds renewed faith in something larger than this physical world. She pieces herself back together with memory, myth, and the mystical, awakening to the full power of love and forgiveness.

Two Rare Birds serves as a beacon of hope for the grieving heart. It is breathtaking to discover how much inner strength and peace can be found while facing difficulty and death.
