I read this book in less than 48 hours. It was so good I could only put it down when it was time to go to bed. It is told from the viewpoints of 4 people: A Catholic priest, a mother who has lost her daughter and husband, a convicted murderer, and an ACLU lawyer. I usually don't like that style but it was really nice and this story kind of needed it.
A mother's 7 year old daughter and husband are killed and the man who was convicted of their murders is now on death row. He wants to donate his heart to the mother's only living child who needs a transplant to save her life. The novel follows what happens when the man who took away almost everything you have wants to help you keep the only thing you have left.
There is a lot of religious elements in this book that kind of rubbed me the wrong way but it is just a fictional story and it was fun to read. Lots of twists and turns that will definitely keep you wanting to finish in one sitting.
