Matt and Elle are literally the couple who grew up as the boy next door/the girl next door. They were high school sweethearts and then separated, had other relationships but were best friends until they finally married. She is a NASA astrophysicist and he is a neurosurgeon. From the first pages she suffers a fall and is brain dead. They quickly learn she was pregnant and he wants to keep her alive until the baby is born. But she had an advanced directive so there is a legal battle. This story was a tear jerker! Very emotional and beautifully told. We see a relationship between husband and wife and the baby that is true love.
