From Lurlene McDaniel, the bestselling author of young adult inspirational
fiction, comes Heart to Heart. This emotionally charged novel explores
loss, love, renewal, and the ways in which these complex bonds within families
and between friends are tested at life's most challenging moments.
Elowyn Eden and Kassey Messechek are best friends. They share every
aspect of their lives. But one thing Elowyn has not yet shared with Kassey
is that she checked the organ donor box on her newly acquired driver's
license. Kassey only learns of this in a startling and devastating way--when
Elowyn's life-giving donor wishes are about to be honored.
Arabeth St. Clair has not had the luck to have a best friend. Due to
her diseased heart, she's led a sheltered life. When Arabeth is sixteen,
she and her mother receive the call that will change their lives--but they
don't know to whom they should be forever grateful.
When the worlds of these three girls and their families intersect, lives
are changed in ways never imagined. Most especially, it is Kassey who sees
things differently, for she can keep alive the memory of her dear friend
by sharing the renewed life of another teenage girl, while helping to ease
the pain of the two families involved and coming to terms with her own. |

leg. Instead, his trip to the hospital reveals devastating news. In an

changed.

for him. But he's always been sure of himself, and he's sure of one thing
now--that he and only he should decide the course of his life. He has a
plan, but he can't carry it out alone. How will he convince the three people
he feels he can count on most to help him? And when things get even worse,
who will fulfill his most important request?

subject, sensitively exploring the issues of personal choice and quality
of life, and poignantly reminding readers that every individual deserves
