Heart of the Matter

Author: Emily Giffin

Tessa Russo’s life seems picture-perfect: a handsome surgeon husband, two adorable children, and a cozy suburban home. But when her husband operates on a young boy injured in a tragic accident, Tessa’s world collides with that of Valerie Anderson, a single mother grappling with her son’s recovery. As their lives intertwine, both women face unexpected challenges and difficult choices. Giffin’s poignant exploration of love, loyalty, and the complexities of modern relationships will leave readers questioning their own hearts long after the final page.

Sometimes the hardest part isn't letting go but rather learning to start over.
