Moonface: A True Romance

"Angela Balcita's love story takes a couple of artsy wanderers off the road and into the bright, scary world of transplants, dialysis, and neonatal intensive care." --Marion Winik, author of The Glen Rock Book of the Dead

From the pages of the New York Times' Modern Love column comes one woman's moving and uproarious story of how love and laughter rescued her from life-threatening illness. Angela Balcita's cathartic memoir of finding love while wrestling with kidney failure will strike a chord with anyone yearning for a poignant, true-to-life romance...with a real fairy tale ending.
