This is the best book that I have read so far this year. On the cover of this book, just beneath the title is the line: "A novel of the heart". How true this statement is. This book is about the whole heart; the physical heart and the spiritual heart. The story begins with Annie, a precious 7 year old girl who is in need of a heart transplant. She is selling lemonade to try to raise money to help pay for the surgery. Enter Reese, a non-practicing surgeon who has been living like a hermit since his wife died. Reese is on the scene when Annie steps off the curb and gets hit by a speeding truck. From that moment on their hearts are intertwined. This story is about two hearts that need healing, one physical and one spiritual.
Faith Score 2
The faith of the main characters in this story is very real and genuine and very unique in some of the secondary characters.
Purpose Score 2
This is a story of hope for the broken hearted. It shows how God can mend both the physical and the spiritual heart.
Page-turner Score 3
I kept making myself put this book down, because I was reading it too fast and I didn't want it to end.
Tearjerker Score 2
Several scenes have the capability of producing both tears of sadness and joy.
I encourage you to read this book. You won't be disappointed.
