Your brother needs a new kidney. You're a perfect match. Would you do it?

Cherie Hollister struggles to raise her three daughters alone after her husband’s tragic death. Now her mother is begging her to be tested as a potential kidney donor for her brother, making Cherie confront the anger and pain of their past. Her faith tells her to forgive but every maternal instinct in her body rails against forgiving the man whose negligence has left her 8-year-old daughter scarred for life.

Will Finnegan is a chief resident in the Emergency Room having left behind a successful law career to pursue medicine. Intrigued by the beautiful but prickly young mother, whose daughter is brought in by ambulance, Will finds he can’t stop thinking about her. When he meets her again at a fundraiser for the Burn Center, she questions him about the safety of transplant surgery, and Will wants to help her make the most important decision of her life.

Will must navigate his growing feelings for the young widow as Cherie struggles to make the right choice for her family. Can Cherie find it in her heart to forgive her brother and save his life?

For fans of Karen Kingsbury’s, Someone Like You, In This Lifetime by Christine Anderson is a heart-wrenching tale of medical ethics, forgiveness, and the power of family. You won’t want to miss this powerful story!

What a Pleasure!

In This Lifetime is a great read and I spent a couple of late nights paging through it because I couldn't put it down. Christine Anderson's characters are your neighbors and your friends, all trying to navigate some pretty difficult life terrain as we all do: imperfectly. The story is compelling and you find yourself asking that age-old question: "What would I do?"

I decided to revisit the book when it came out on Audible with one fear: the narrator. Now, I don't know about you, but a bad narrator will kill a good book for me. Not so in the case of In This Lifetime. It almost seems as though it was written for Sarah Kuklis to read, and as I listened, I felt like a good friend was telling me a story. I couldn't wait for the opportunity to grab my headphones and go back into Anderson's world.
