Susan Bean works in the research
department of a large law firm. Her life has always been calm, ordered and
unexciting. Romance was never in the cards for her. Things change suddenly
from the moment she meets new attorney, Gordon Davis. Almost immediately
Over the weeks they become close,
discovering similar interests, similar attitudes, and she is convinced that they
belong together. Susan will do anything to prove she loves Gordon. Anything.
When Gordon becomes seriously ill, Susan
donates her own liver. Then her blood. Then a kidney. She doesn’t mind; she
likes to think of it as she and Gordon becoming like one flesh. And after many
years of illness, Susan’s donations bring Gordon a new perspective on life,
work, sports, food – and love. But when his perspectives start to veer from
hers, Susan decides she needs to show Gordon the light.
