Riassunto

Hanging by a String is an unforgettable, illuminating memoir which describes an unheard-of victory over the dialysis machine, a near-death-experience and three other triumphant returns from the dead. Hoping to realize her dream of becoming a violinist, Marilyn Gibson was told that she had lupus, a disease which her mother, a pianist, had struggled with for years. Fearing that her mothers fate would become a mirror for her own, Marilyn found it necessary to search for solutions which the medical professionals could not provide. With force and precision, Marilyn describes how her beliefs and commitment to healing brought her closer to the answers she sought. Yet what is really transcendent, in the sense that the story speaks movingly to the human condition in all of its forms, is the battle as it is portrayed from the inside. The sessions in the hospital are compellingly vivid in disclosing how a person struggles for consciousness and for self-acceptance as she is going through the radical treatments being administered. Finally, she receives a kidney from her father that enables her to utilize her discoveries for vibrant health. Today she enjoys a career as a violinist in New York City.
