Nyack Library’s Local Authors’ Series Presents: Lezlee Peterzell-Bellanich, author of Saved By a Stranger: Life-Changing Journeys of Transplant Patients
Nyack, NY — On Wednesday, December 1 at 7:00 pm, the Nyack Library is pleased to welcome
Rockland County resident Lezlee Peterzell-Bellanich, wife, mother, author, and songwriter, as
she celebrates the release of her first book. Inspired by her family’s perseverance, Saved By a
Stranger demystifies organ transplantation, providing hope and information to patients and
those who love them.
Lezlee didn’t expect to become an advocate for organ transplantation. But when her husband
Capt. Rob’s battle with PSC, a rare autoimmune disease, led to cirrhosis, she found herself
navigating a new reality, eventually relocating with her family to the Mayo Clinic in Jackson,
Florida during the Pandemic, to wait for a compatible liver. While there, she met other patients
and their loved ones in similar situations and connected with people who’d already recovered
from their own transplants. She started to write about her experiences, eventually interviewing
the new friends she made at Mayo.
“Writing this book helped me get through this difficult time. I hope it encourages everyone to
sign up for organ donation,” says the author.
This in person event will be held in the Nyack Library’s Community Meeting Room. There will be
a presentation by the author, with time for a Q & A and book signing.
Copies of the book will be on sale courtesy of Pickwick Book Shop of Nyack and materials from Donate Life will be
available to take. Registration is required. To register, visit www.nyacklibrary.org or call 845-358-3370 ext. 214

One year after the launch of the Rockland Community Power program, this innovative program has delivered cost savings to residents and small businesses – and a measurable environmental impact too. Through the Rockland Community Power program, residents and small businesses in Upper Nyack collectively saved $16,107.80 by the end of September. Village residents and small businesses will also save the equivalent of 1,100 metric tons of CO2 emissions over two years.
The program gives each of us a way to make a measurable difference in our carbon footprint, while also keeping costs down. If you did not sign up when the program started – or would like more information about your energy choices, you can join the Information Session on November 17.
You can always get more information on the program through the help line at 845 859-9099 option 1 or online at www.RocklandCommunityPower.com. The helpline is available Monday to Friday, 9 to 5.
