What people are saying about Steve Farber’s book:
 “A gripping and compelling tale of courage and compassion in the face of disease, despair and death.”
· Bill Owens, former Governor of Colorado
“What an amazing book of a life’s journey. From the heartache of Farber’s sons hearing that he might not live, to the brave and courageous decision that one of his sons makes by agreeing to be his donor and lifeline, this book is beyond inspirational.”
· Robert Shapiro, attorney and co-author of The Search for Justice
“On the List lucidly describes the real-life battle confronting thousands of American families because of complications in the medical and legal systems for managing organ transplants.”
· John Chirban, PhD, thD, Harvard Medical School.
“A life or death struggle wrapped in a compelling ethical dilemma. Mesmerizing.”
· Richard D. Lamm, former three-term governor of Colorado, co-director of the institute for Public Policy studies at the University of Denver, and co-author of Condition Critical: A New Moral Vision for Health Care
“A bare-knuckled look at a disturbing health care reality and what needs to be done about it.”
· Edward A. Dauer, dean emeritus and professor emeritus of law, University of Denver; and executive director, Colorado
