TIN HEART

Funny, romantic and deeply moving by turns, this is a fitting follow-up to the critically acclaimed, award-winning FRANKIE.

When Marlowe gets a heart transplant and a second chance at life, all she wants is to thank her donor's family. Maybe then she'll discover who she is, if she's no longer "the dying girl".

But with a little brother who dresses like every day is Halloween, a vegan warrior for a mother and an all-out war with the hot butcher's apprentice next door, Marlowe's life is already pretty complicated. And her second chance is about to take an unexpected turn.
