A heart warming story of 4 sisters reacting in different ways to their brothers tragic death and subsequent organ donation. All sisters are totally immersed in their own lives to the extent of alienating themselves from each other. And when Claire announces she wants to contact recipients of Daniels organs the others are appalled, but slowly each sister comes round resulting in some really poignant moments.
There are difficult issues raised in this novel by Kylie Ladd has dealt with them empathetically and with understanding. Organ donation particularly can be a hard topic to talk about but this novel helps see things from all perspectives
