"Nineteen year old Vida has spent the whole of her short life preparing for her death. Richard has just lost his beloved wife, Lorrie, in a car accident. These two characters are bound by a heart, Lorrie's heart, which is transplanted into Vida's chest. Richard's mother-in-law warns him in no uncertain terms against meeting the girl.' But he cannot resist, and when Vida declares she loves Richard, calling it love at first sight, Richard dismisses her as a foolish child. But is it more than this? Is it possible love can live on in a donated heart?"
