Chosen and Kept: The Circuit of Care Book 1

By Michael McFarland Campbell

In the quiet rhythm of dialysis, friendship takes root. Chosen and Kept introduces Declan, Marcus, Cillian, and Aidan-a quartet bound not by blood, but by the daily liturgy of care. Their companionship unfolds in saline and softness, in shared snacks and stubborn joy. This is not a story of triumph over illness, but of abiding within it: of queer kinship, medical truth, and the grace of being held. With tenderness and clarity, Chosen and Kept opens the Circuit of Care series, inviting readers into a landscape where ordinary rituals become sacred, and where presence itself is a form of healing. For patients, carers, and fellow travellers alike, these pages honour the dignity of endurance and the beauty of belonging.
