Dr. Fry-Revere, a Quaker, is the first Westerner ever to interview kidney sellers in the one country in the world that claims to have solved its kidney shortage. Rarely does an adventure story carry such social significance as in this groundbreaking work. Dr. Fry-Revere spent two months in Iran interviewing and filming her subjects without permission from the Iranian government. She shares her discoveries in this fascinating book: part diary living in a dangerous country, part ethnographic essay, and part tale of people working together to overcome death and financial ruin. The Kidney Sellers is a shocking, thought-provoking, true story.
