An unusual and surprising love story, SECOND HAND HEART is a compelling page-turner that will appeal to fans of Jodi Picoult and Nicholas Sparks, and to anyone who has ever been curious about the limits of love and death.
“Everything about this book is unexpected. You think you’re in for one thing, but you get quite another. The characters don’t behave the way I thought they would, the story unfolds in a landscape utterly different to where it begins and instead of being pleasantly entertained by a sweet story…I found a moving lesson about living as oppose to just existing.” – Catherine, Caffeinated
“A Compelling Novel From A Wonderful Writer. If you haven’t read any of her novels, then WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR TIME??? You’re missing out on a lot and I highly suggest you hurry and pick one up. And why not start with her latest, Second Hand Heart?” – Brent Taylor, reader review
