Shay Bourne becomes the first person in decades to be sentenced to death in New Hampshire, when he is found guilty of the cold-blooded killing of a policeman and his stepdaughter. After 11 years on Death Row, the end is coming for Shay. Until he sees a news piece about a young girl who urgently needs a heart transplant.

June's husband and daughter died at Shay Bourne's hands, and she thought her greatest desire was to see him killed. Then her remaining daughter is hospitalised, and she realises that there is something she wants even more: for Claire to live. Shay Bourne is offering June's daughter a miracle - a second chance. But at what cost?

I loved it. It wasn't what I expected, but I loved it. It was one of those books which has stayed with me long after I finished reading it. Highly recommended.

As requested from my "please take my AVLs"-RABCK. I hope you enjoy this book :)

Arrived safe and sound today. Thank you!

As always, Picoult tells a good story. I had thought of most of the twists before they happened (except that last one). Took me a bit to get into it. But I did stay up late to finish it. Yes, I think it will be staying with me for a while as well.

Sending to BethanyGordon for her birthday. Happy birthday!

Thank you so much! Such a nice surprise. I've only read one Jodi Picoult book before, and I found this one through goodreads. It sounds really good, I can't wait to read it.

Again, thank you so much :)
