Story of a Heart was an advanced read copy enjoyed on my Kindle. The subject matter interested me because I work with Donor Charts for an organization that uses cadaver skin. I was interested to hear the perspective of a donor family and recipient family. This author really delivered that, and so much more. I was not expecting to learn so much about heart transplant history, rejection background, so that was really a nice bonus. The "heart" of the story, Keira and Max, two children who never met but are forever intertwined, was told beautifully. The fear and emotion just rolled from the text deep into my heart. Lovely job!

What a powerful book with two young children at the center of complex medical and traumatic events. Clarke gives the story compassion with still telling the facts about organ donation, family emotions, and much more. I think it's an important book for all to read. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.
