  Award-winning author Eleanor Vincent talks about her memoir Swimming with Maya: A Mother's Story. It chronicles
the life and death of Eleanor's 19-year-old daughter, Maya, who was
thrown from a horse and pronounced brain-dead at the hospital. Eleanor
donated her daughter's organs to critically ill patients and poignantly
describes her friendship with a middle-aged man who was the recipient of
Maya's heart. Ms. Vincent also re-examines her relationship with her daughter as well as her own life as a child and young woman.
