Synopsis
After Daniel Asa Rose receives a phone-call from Larry, a cousin he hadn't seen in 15 years, he finds himself on a wild-goose-chase in China hunting for an illegal kidney to save Larry's life and to pick up Larry's mail-order-bride. A thoughtful ruminating memoir this is not. LARRY'S KIDNEY reads with more zany velocity than most Hollywood comedies. Filled with exotic locales, eccentric characters, and absurd scenarios, LARRY'S KIDNEY is a stranger-than-fiction tale of the lengths a person is willing to go for family--even if Rose often can't stand the guy.

Publisher's Note
A rollicking account of the author's attempt to help his cousin receive an illegal kidney transplant and get a mail-order bride describes how their efforts were marked by a disability settlement, a nun's forged recommendation letter, and the author's well-meant intentions to restore east-west relations.
