This emotionally charged novel explores loss, love, renewal, and the ways in which these complex bonds within families and between friends are tested at life's most challenging moments. Most especially, it is Kassey who sees things differently, for she can keep alive the memory of her dear friend by sharing the renewed life of another teenage girl, while helping to ease the pain of the two families involved and coming to terms with her own. From Lurlene McDaniel, the bestselling author of young adult inspirational fiction, comes Heart to Heart. When the worlds of these three girls and their families intersect, lives are changed in ways never imagined. When Arabeth is sixteen, she and her mother receive the call that will change their lives-but they don't know to whom they should be forever grateful.

Due to her diseased heart, she's led a sheltered life. COURTESY LURLENE MCDANIEL Thirty years after her first novel, young adult author Lurlene McDaniel has decided her latest book, The Girl with the Broken Heart, will be her last.

Kassey only learns of this in a startling and devastating way-when Elowyn's life-giving donor wishes are about to be honored. But one thing Elowyn has not yet shared with Kassey is that she checked the organ donor box on her newly acquired driver's license. Elowyn Eden and Kassey Messechek are best friends.
