One girl: Vida is nineteen, very sick, and has spent her short life preparing for death. But a new chance brings its own story, because for Vida to live, someone had to die. One man: Richard has just lost his beloved wife in a car accident. He hasn't even begun to address his grief, but feels compelled to meet the girl who inherited his wife's heart. In hospital Vida sees Richard and immediately falls in love. Of course, he dismisses her as a foolish child. But is she? Can two people be bound by a second-hand heart? Perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult, a piercing, emotionally-charged novel from the author of 'Love in the Present Tense'.
