Urgent, dramatic, and with special twists: An extraordinary love story that poses deeply touching questions. Imagine a heart transplant giving you a new life - but it's not your own. "While I'm Here" is a unique love novel that raises questions about our responsibility to others and ourselves. Since childhood, 30-year-old Maggie has been waiting for a donor heart. But when the miracle finally happens, she still can't enjoy her life. Her fear of becoming ill again and causing more suffering to her parents and sister is too great. In fact, after a while, her body begins to reject the new heart. Maggie has to return to the hospital and suffers a cardiac arrest. The next morning, she wakes up in an apartment she doesn't know - in a body that isn't hers. After the initial shock, Maggie realizes that she is living the life of a healthy, cheerful woman named Emily. She meets her neighbor Adam and spends more and more time with him. For the first time, Maggie is truly happy. Until she learns something about Emily that changes everything. Dramatic, tragic, and thrilling - an emotional novel that subtly addresses questions of morality and responsibility. With her second love story after "The Second Between You and Me," Scottish author Emma Steele has crafted another special tale. Readers of Jojo Moyes or Clare Empson will immediately warm to Maggie.
