Best-selling author Catherine Ryan Hyde (Pay It Forward, When I Found You) takes a look at transplants and cellular memories in her latest novel Second Hand Heart. Vida is only 19 but she has spent years with a life-threatening heart condition. And now she is going to die within days unless she has a heart transplant. For Vida to live, someone else has to die. That someone is Richard's wife, Lorrie, who dies in a car accident. He feels compelled to meet the girl who inherited his wife's heart. When Vida sees Richard, she immediately falls in love. Can two people be bound by a second hand heart? And can Vida learn to live, when all this time she's been preparing for death? Second Hand Heart is out in September.
