In a Heartbeat

In a Heartbeat by Loretta Ellsworth

Told in their separate voices, Eagan, who has died in a figure-skating accident, becomes a heart donor for Amelia, who then begins taking on some aspects of Eagan's personality.

My Thoughts:  I stayed up late into the night to finish this captivating story!  It makes me wonder if it is possible, which the author addressed in an end note saying that there are reports from patients that this can happen but nothing has been scientifically proven.  I felt sad for Eagan and her mom.  I felt happy for Amelia and the new opportunity for life that this brings to her.
