“Richard Holloway, Brookfield, a Wisconsin Donor Network volunteer and father of a transplant recipient, recently published his first novel, “My Name is Joe.” As an active volunteer with the Wisconsin Donor Network, eastern Wisconsin's federally designated organ procurement organization, Holloway has been involved in a number of activities, events and presentations to help promote donation awareness. His son, Evan, had a life-saving liver transplant eight years ago, at age four.

“My Name is Joe” is the story of a 19-year-old college student who, as a result of a severe indiscretion, is required to write his life story in an attempt to avoid expulsion. Joe's recollections, told in his irreverent teenage voice, begin with his diagnosis at age three of a rare liver disorder. More than most young adults his age, Joe has had to deal with questions regarding his personal identity and what it means to have someone else's liver in his own body. Now, faced with the prospect of expulsion from college, he learns more about himself than he expected.”
