The Will To Live is Nechama Surik's first book. Chronicling her family's experience with her father's near-fatal car crash in 2000, it was originally written as a journal. In this warm, inspiring work Surik shares her observations on human character in crisis and looks at the ethical dilemmas and communication difficulties she faced throughout this time. She also examines the Israeli health system, especially regarding technological advances in care and aspects of patient-doctor rapport. Above all, Surik speaks movingly of her own amazement at her father's "will to live" despite his life-threatening injuries. Written in Hebrew, the English translation of"The Will To Live" is coming soon. Coming soon.
