Set in Norway, story involves two mothers, two daughters, one heart.

Allison loses her only child to a drowning accident where Allison was supposed to be watching but fell asleep. In their grief, she and husband agree to donate daughter's organs.

Iselin is a single mom whose daughter Kaia desperately needs heart replacement. She's been ill most of her life, so this donor heart is a miracle.

Allison can't cope with her grief and guilt so with help of step-son she finds out who received her daughter's heart. And the story takes off!!

Well written, even tho chapters flip between characters, easy to follow. Some bad decisions made along the way, an intriguing book overall.
