Arabeth also gets to know Wyatt and Nolan. Over time, Elowyn's parents and Arabeth's family meet. The author introduces readers to Arabeth's loving family and reveals that her soldier father died overseas. So when her parents decide it's time to let her go, another young woman, Arabeth (who is in desperate need of a transplant), inherits Elowyn's heart. Then comes the accident that leaves Kassey's best friend a vegetable.Įlowyn had signed that she was willing to be a transplant donor. First Elowyn finds a boyfriend in ninth grade, Wyatt Nolan, and their tempestuous relationship (fueled by Elowyn's jealousy) often forces Kassey into the role of go-between. They vacation together and when Elowyn's doting parents give her a car for her sixteenth birthday, she immediately hands Kassey a key. Kassey Messechek and Elowyn Eden have been - and expect to be - best friends forever.
