This new book shares stories about living with, Joy, Natasha’s nickname for the kidney … stories of triumph followed by the difficult challenge both sisters had to endure with the loss of their beloved mother, Bettie, who in Natasha’s Joy had nurtured and ral- lied the girls through a difficult period.. Four months after the transplant, Natasha went on to fulfill her dream of earning a master’s degree in school administration from North Carolina Central University. Today she is living her dream educating bright, young minds, traveling abroad, and pursuing her passion of helping others through life coaching. For Terri, it has become her personal mission to make a difference in the lives of others. She is an advocate for organ donation, having shared her story at council hearings, panels, and conferences, and she is a sought after public speaker on the subject of organ donation education awareness by libraries, churches, government agencies, universities, and health organizations. She uses her experience as an example of the power of the human spirit. Terri and Natasha are living proof that God does answer prayers.
