DURANGO (May 1, 2008)— Anabel Stenzel and Isabel Stenzel Byrnes, both double lung transplant recipients, will present their story at a free public event at Mercy Medical Center on Tuesday, May 20th from 4:30 to 6:00 pm. The authors will share stories from their book The Power of Two: a Twin Triumph over Cystic Fibrosis, which will be available for purchase at the event, courtesy of Maria’s Bookshop.
The tragedy of cystic fibrosis has been touchingly recounted before, but this is the first book to portray the symbiotic relationship between twins who share this life-threatening disease through adulthood. Isabel Stenzel Byrnes and Anabel Stenzel tell of their struggle to pursue normal lives while grappling with the realization that they might die young. The Power of Two is an honest and gripping portrayal of day-to-day health care, the impact of chronic illness on marriage and family, and the importance of a support network to continuing survival. These two remarkable sisters have much to teach about the power of perseverance-and about the ultimate power of hope.
Isabel Stenzel Byrnes works as a community outreach coordinator, and Anabel Stenzel works as a genetic counselor in pediatric genetics, both at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford in Palo Alto, California.
For more information about the event, call (970) 247-1438 or visit www.mariasbookshop.com.
