If your lives have ever been touched by organ donation, this novel will truly touch your heart. I remember the day I got the letter stating that transplanting my mother’s corneas gave sight to two people…and I cried. I can only imagine the power that donating a life saving organ would have on someone…forever.
Irreplaceable is the first novel by Stephen Lovely. The story involves a woman, Isabel who is killed in a bike accident and her heart is donated to a woman in Chicago. This woman makes it her mission to connect with the family of the donor. After much persistence she meets the mother and husband, Alex, and the story continues with the relationships that ensue.
Lovely digs deep into the characters and relationships. He does a balancing the medical and technical side of transplantation with the emotional side leading us to realize the toll it takes on the families.
The novel is a fairly read, and an emotional story. Great to see a first time author with so much passion, and I can’t wait to see his next venture.
Irreplaceable is available at Amazon .
Thank you for the opportunity, Parent Reviewers…
