On Saturday, December 18 legendary Grammy Award-winning singer Natalie Cole will be at Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills, from 1 to 2 pm signing copies of her new inspiring memoir, LOVE BROUGHT ME BACK: A Journey of Loss and Gain. Written with David Ritz, the book recounts her two-year physical and emotional battle with life-threatening illness that culminated in a surreal moment when she underwent a successful kidney transplant the very day her beloved sister died. As counterpoint to Natalie’s own remarkable story, the sister of her kidney donor shares her own family’s story of love, loss, and the generosity of spirit that would come to connect two very different women—total strangers—in the most intimate way imaginable.
