Moonface: A True Romance
From Booklist What could possibly be entertaining about the memoir of a relatively young woman with a serious kidney disease called glomerulonephritis who has had three, count them, three kidney transplants? It certainly is not the times that she teetered on the precipice of mortality, nor the distress her illness caused her doting family. It is not the sacrifices of those who donated organs that she might live. No. What makes Balcita�s memoir so brightly entertaining is the unequaled sense of humor and perspective with which she and her devoted boyfriend-cum-spouse, Charlie, challenge these health problems. When facing yet another surgery, Charlie lifts Angela�s spirits by likening their life to a comedy act. He says life is like �a circus that goes horribly wrong,� but �thank God you�re always here so I can follow your cues.� Angela replies, �My cues? I thought you were the straight man.� By good-naturedly chiding each other, they build a oneness of spirit, bolstering their combined strength. Certainly, Balcita�s pitch-perfect prose and intrinsic sense of timing don�t hurt either. --Donna Chavez
