The gift of life.
A heart donated to a dying young woman, Jenna, gives her her life back. But what about where the heart came from, someone had to die to be able to donate it, and what about their family.
“Oh Jenna. That's completely unethical. How did you trace them? I'm going to have to report this, you know”
“You know it isn't encouraged . . . it can be incredibly distressing for everyone”
With the internet and social media it is very easy to find almost every accident and death and trace who they were and where they are from. Jenna has been experiencing dreams and visions which seem so very real to her, although they have actually happened. Some of the visions are a bit scary and she feels that her donor, Callie, was being chased, was in danger and that the accident she was killed in might not have been an accident.
There's a lot of speculation of whether cells have memory and Louise Jensen has given us a good fictional story based on Jenna's donated heart having memory of its life when it belonged to Callie. There are some amazing stories out there – just Google it – and this is a clever concept to use to write about the unfolding of a crime.
