But Abby soon makes an anguished, crucial decision that jeopardizes her entire career. A car crash victimβs healthy heart is ready to be harvested; it is immediately cross-matched to a wealthy private patient, Nina Voss. Abby hatches a bold plan to make sure that the transplant goes instead to a dying seventeen-year-old boy who is also a perfect match.
