Summary

Vida is 19 and has never had much of a life. Struggling along with a life-threatening heart condition, her whole life has been one long preparation for death. But suddenly she is presented with a donor heart, and just in time. Now she gets to do something she never imagined she'd have to do: live.Richard is a 36-year-old man who's just lost his beloved wife, Lorrie, in a car accident. Still in shock and not even having begun the process of grieving, he is invited to the hospital to meet the young woman who received his wife's donor heart.Vida takes one look at Richard and feels she's loved him all her life. And tells him so. Richard assumes she's just a foolish young girl. And maybe she is. Or maybe there's truth behind the theory of cellular memory, and maybe it really is possible for a heart to remember, at least for a time, on its own.By bestselling author Catherine Ryan Hyde, SECOND HAND HEART is a story of love, of unexpected chances, and of inconceivable loss-of having to learn to live for the first time, and having to learn to live all over again.
