Matt was two years old the first time he held Elle in his arms, seventeen when he first kissed her, and thirty-three when they wed. Now the deeply devoted couple has everything--except the baby they've always wanted.
When a tragic accident leaves Elle brain-dead, Matt is devastated. Though he cannot bear losing her, he knows his wife feared only one thing--a slow death. Just before Matt agrees to remove Elle from life support, the doctors discover that she is pregnant. Now what was once a clear-cut decision becomes an impossible choice. While there is no certainty her body can sustain the pregnancy, Matt is sure Elle would want the baby to have a chance. Linney, Matt's mother, believes her son is blind with denial and insists Elle would never want to be kept alive by artificial means, no matter what. And the result is a battle, which ultimately goes beyond one family and one single life.
