Review:
"Stephen Lovely's debut novel is wise, heartbreaking, funny, and human in every possible way. He manages to humanize the sterile world of heart transplants, the faceless victims and lucky receivers of their organs, and the families who are touched forever by happenstance. Irreplaceable is unforgettable. I simply love this book." -- Ann Hood
"Stephen Lovely has imagined his way deep into the lives of his characters and evoked their varied experiences with remarkable insight and eloquence. In his sure hands it's all been made new--the desperate grief, the wonder of a reclaimed life. Irreplaceable is a rich, poignant, and powerful book." -- John Dalton
"Irreplaceable is tender and dear. It explores the mystery and vagaries of life, with such gentle understanding of the way things can fall apart in an instant and, just as suddenly, come together. Stephen Lovely knows the human heart." "Luanne Rice, author of Last Kiss""
"Truly unique. [Lovely's] writing is thoughtful and keeps you plowing ahead to find out what else can come of a widower's grief and a mother's desperation. An utterly convincing portrait of people who have lost the person they love most in the world. It is a touching story."--Associated Press
