About this ebook
She's survived her heart transplant. Now she has to start living . . . An "enchanting" novel about new beginnings by the author of The Lost for Words Bookshop (Kristy Woodson Harvey, New York Times–bestselling author of A Happier Life).
Ailsa Rae is only a few months past the heart transplant that—just in time—saved her life. Now, finally, she can be a normal twenty-eight-year-old. She can climb a mountain. Dance. Wait in line all day for tickets to Wimbledon. Suddenly, she has a future.
But first, she has to put one foot in front of the other. So far, things are as bloody complicated as ever. Her relationship with her mother is at a breaking point and she wants to find her father. Then there's Lennox, whom Ailsa loved and lost. Will she ever find love again? And how can she learn to be brave, to accept defeat, to dare to dream?
Her new heart is a bold heart. She just needs to learn to listen to it. From the hospital to her childhood home, on social media and IRL, Ailsa will embark on a journey in search of what it means to be, and feel, alive.
"Moving, funny, and romantic . . . utterly engaging from the first line to the last." —Katie Fforde, author of Practically Perfect
