“I’ve found the only thing I can control is how well I tell the story and follow the truth... The truth will always lead you to a good place.” Truman Wiley used to report news stories around the world, but now the troubling headlines are his own. He’s out of work and out of touch with his family, but nothing keeps him awake at night more than his son’s failing heart. With hospital bills mounting faster than Truman can gamble his life savings, it seems there’s no way out... until his estranged wife throws him a lifeline—the chance to write the story of a death row inmate willing to donate his heart to Truman’s son. As the execution clock ticks, Truman uncovers disturbing evidence that may point to a different killer. For his son to live, must an innocent man die? As Truman’s investigation escalates, he’s forced to face his failures and make a choice that will change his life, his family, and the destinies of two men forever.

"I did not expect to like this book so well. It deals with very unapproachable subjects like heart transplants, death by lethal injection and gambling disorders to boot. However with the smart and charming wit of the author it all comes together to provide a loving,humorous and faithful tale that the avid reader will truly enjoy."
