Saved by a Stranger

      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.
