## Description

Jonny isn't like " normal" teenagers. Every day he wakes up in hospital, kept alive by a machine. Every day he wonders if this is the day they'll find a donor match for his heart. Every day he wonders if this is the day he'll die. Every day, Niamh fights with her " perfect" brother Leo. Every single day, Leo wins. Every day, Niamh dreams of a life without Leo. But all that changes on the day of the accident; the day everything falls apart. This is a story about facing the future, no matter how frightening. This is a story about healing your heart, no matter how much it hurts.
