This was the second book that I have read by Barbara Delinsky. I like her writing style. It is easy to be drawn into the story.
This is a story about the Snow family. There is Kathryn (mom), Charlie (dad), Robin (oldest), Chris, and Molly. Robin is a marathon runner and star of the family. She collapses on a run and is found by a man running behind her. He starts CPR and gets her heart going again. Robin has had a heart attack. She is 32 years old. While she is unconscious in the hospital, her family learns to deal with losing Robin. They find out things about her that no one ever knew. It is hard to come to terms with finding out someone you thought you knew was entirely different that what you thought.
Everyone comes to terms with Robin's issue in different ways, but soon everyone sees what needs to be done in order to make sure that Robin's wishes are granted. The family learn a lot about each other along the way and Robin has left the most precious gift that she could have: understanding in a family.
I liked this book a lot. I gave it 4 stars.
