A Heartbeat Away/Harry Kraus/370 pages

Dr. Tori Taylor is a very demanding and unforgiving cancer surgeon. But, now she is also a heart transplant recipient. Being on the other side of the care and at the mercy of the nurses who she bullied gives her new perspective before the operation. Afterwards, she finds herself weepy and uncharacteristically empathic to the people around her. She is also plagued by nightmares that she believes come from the donor heart. She and the counselor assigned to her case try to find out more about the donor.

Two stories are told in this novel. Part of the novel is told from the donor's side and the other from Tori's. There is a bit of a twist, but nothing too surprising. It's worth mentioning that this is a Christian novel because there really isn't any indication of that on the book.
