Eleven minutes passed before Delaney Maxwell was pulled from
the icy waters of a Maine lake by her best friend Decker
Phillips. By then her heart had stopped beating. Her brain
had stopped working. She was dead. And yet she somehow
defied medical precedent to come back seemingly fine
-despite the scans that showed significant brain damage.
Everyone wants Delaney to be all right, but she knows she's
far from normal. Pulled by strange sensations she can't
control or explain, Delaney finds herself drawn to the
dying. Is her altered brain now predicting death, or causing it?
Then Delaney meets Troy Varga, who recently emerged from a
coma with similar abilities. At first she's reassured to
find someone who understands the strangeness of her new
existence, but Delaney soon discovers that Troy's motives
aren't quite what she thought. Is their gift a miracle, a
freak of nature-or something much more frightening?
For fans of best-sellers like Before I Fall and If I Stay,
this is a fascinating and heart-rending story about love and
friendship and the fine line between life and death.
