About this audiobook
Three best friends. One tragic accident.
A heartbreaking novel about friendship, love and sacrifice from R&J bestseller, Amanda Brooke
Lucy has been desperate for a new heart for as long as she can remember. But getting the call to say a donor has been found will be a bittersweet relief: because for her to live, someone else must die.
Julia, Helen and Phoebe have been fast friends for all their lives, through Helen’s unplanned pregnancy, the sudden death of Phoebe’s mother, and Julia’s desperation to conceive with her much younger husband. Yet a deep friendship can hide many secrets, and as their relationship reaches crisis point, what has long been buried is going to come bubbling to the surface.
With one tragic accident, these four lives will converge and Lucy will get her new heart. But who has made the ultimate sacrifice?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Julia, Phoebe and Helen have been friends for years, their lives entwined. As the story unfolds we discover just how much and in which ways their lives have been so connected. This story also holds a sub-plot of organ donation, very subtly. Not a story line you come across very often.Altogether a very enjoyable story.
