When a small mistake costs sixteen-year-old Eagan her life
during a figure-skating competition, she leaves many things
unreconciled, including her troubled relationship with her
mother. From her vantage point in the afterlife, Eagan
reflects back on her memories, and what she could have done
differently, through her still-beating heart. When fourteen-year-old Amelia learns she will be getting a
heart transplant, her fear and guilt battle with her joy at
this new chance at life. And afterwards when she starts to
feel different—dreaming about figure skating, craving grape
candy—her need to learn about her donor leads her to
discover and explore Eagan’s life, meeting her grieving
loved ones and trying to bring the closure they all need to
move on. Told in alternating viewpoints, In a Heartbeat tells the
emotional and compelling story of two girls sharing one heart.
