Trade Paperback Original; September 4, 2012; $15), explores the dangerously
complicated dynamics of the human heart. Ginsberg’s previous titles have

In
WHAT THE HEART REMEMBERS, Eden’s
whole life changes when she receives a heart transplant from an unknown
donor. She is plagued by dreams of people and places she has never seen
and she feels compelled to move from Portland, Oregon to San
Diego, leaving her friends, former fiancé and family
behind. There, Eden
meets Darcy, a lonely and recently widowed young woman. Darcy knows that
she should be mourning her late husband, Peter, but she can’t shake thoughts of
Adam, the young bartender she was having an affair with, who has suddenly
disappeared.
Darcy
and Eden feel a deep and instant connection to each other, and become fast
friends. Yet, the more Eden
learns about Darcy, the more she realizes that all is not as it seems. Eden’s mysterious and
sometimes frightening dreams become more and more frequent. Can Eden listen to what her
heart is trying to tell her before it’s too late for her—and for Darcy?

The 411 by Maria:
I read this last week while I was recovering from surgery oddly enough. Although it was nothing like the heart transplant in the book, it was a good read to get through the worst, most painful of my days.
In What the Heart Remembers we meet Eden who has received a heart transplant from a donor. She suddenly changes her life after dealing with feelings that aren't necessarily her own. For most of the book, I was unsure of who the heart belonged to. The writer does a great job of building suspense and crafting a story with great characters.
Darcy, Eden, Derek are the main focus of the book with three secondary characters that are quite important to the story. The story of Eden leads us to wonder, are our organs really just components to allow our body to do what they need for us, or do they make up who we are, storing memories and personality traits that are our personal makeup?
Great read! Easy to jump in and out of if you can't dedicate constant time to reading.
Disclaimer: I received a complimentary copy of the book for the purpose of this review.
