"Time of death..." the doctor said. I won't forget that moment I looked over at Ellie-the paleness of her once rosy cheeks, the blue hue coating her perfect lips-the woman I had been with since we were five years old. My wife. My best friend...and the mother to our newborn baby girl. You promised me we would be together forever, I wanted to tell her. She gave me her forever, I told myself. Her forever just ended at twenty-five. "You need to say your goodbyes..." the doctor said. How do I say goodbye to the one person in my life I could never say goodbye to? My body is numb, and my heart hurts. Hurts like someone just ripped it out of my chest-which is ironic... "We are going to remove her heart now, Hunter. It was her wish to donate," the doctor said. She never told me this. She never told me another woman would carry on with her beating heart. She never told me this woman knew me but wouldn't let me know her. She never told me if I should follow her heart, or if I should follow mine. She knew. She could have told me... What Readers Are Saying: "Have you ever read a book that made you feel so much emotion you can feel it all the way to your toes? Those are the best kind of stories, the ones that leave you feeling like your heart know longer belongs to you. The first chapter will tear your heart to pieces. There are many characters you will meet and I can say for myself, I loved them all. They all brought such different levels of love and connection to this beautiful story. ...] So many things I want to say to explain how truly beautiful this story is. But I can't. It's an experience. A journey. A ride. A trip you will want to wear you seat belt for. Must read. This was my first book by this author and I can't wait to read more." - Yvette - booksandbandanas ★★★★★ "Shari Ryan has blown me away. I've loved everything I have ever read of hers but this book, this is her on a whole new level. You can feel while reading how much she has poured her heart and soul into a book she is sharing with the world. Thank you Shari so very much for the beauty that is A Heart Of Time. I will never ever forget the beauty of it all." - Renee -- Stephanie's Book Reports ★★★★★ "I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a read that is heart-wrenching, beautiful, and eye-opening. It deals with loss and grief but in such a way that the reader doesn't feel as if the story is all about sadness but how life has so many amazing and hopeful moments in it. Please don't be scared to read this story because you will be missing out big time It's worth the tears and i would read it again If i could offer some advice though it would be to have a box of tissues handy just in case. If you haven't already One-Clicked A Heart of Time, go do it now and find out the beauty within the pain." - Theory of a Dreamer ★★★★★ Formerly titled: A Heart of Time
