Selected by KathlynStaff Pick!
Kathlyn says…
A wonderful work of nonfiction linking the true story of amazing people who worked tirelessly together to bring joy from tragedy – a nine year old boy’s heart transplant made possible.
___________________________________
The first of our organs to form, the last to die, the heart is both a simple pump and the symbol of all that makes us human: as long as it continues to beat, we hope. One summer day, nine-year-old Keira suffered catastrophic injuries in a car accident. Though her brain and the rest of her body began to shut down, her heart continued to beat. In an act of extraordinary generosity, Keira’s parents and siblings agreed that she would have wanted to be an organ donor. Meanwhile nine-year-old Max had been hospitalised for nearly a year with a virus that was causing his young heart to fail. When Max’s parents received the call they had been hoping for, they knew it came at a terrible cost to another family. This is the unforgettable story of how one family’s grief transformed into a lifesaving gift.
