OLDER FICTION
Scott, Elizabeth

Heartbeat

(2) YA Emma's mother had a massive stroke; now machines keep her heart beating so the baby growing inside her can live. When reputed bad boy Caleb pushes the magazine cart through the hospital waiting room and stares at Emma through his shaggy hair, readers know these two will connect. Scott's well-tuned ear for both dialogue and inner turmoil makes for a compelling ripped-from-the-headlines read.
