<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"What does it take to make a hero? Junior doctor Kerry Smith is addicted to rescuing others. Eighteen years ago, on the eve of the millennium, she saved the life of teenage footballer Joel Greenaway who 'died' for eighteen minutes.

After years of working toward medical school, they are about to take their entrance exams. But on the eve of the new millennium, a classmate goes into cardiac arrest, changing everything. <p/>For nearly eighteen minutes, rising soccer star Joel Greenaway is dead. For nearly eighteen minutes, Kerry performs CPR on her longtime crush. And for nearly eighteen minutes, Tim is too shocked to help. Though they don't yet know it, those eighteen minutes will change the next eighteen years of their lives. <p/>Because, as it turns out, saving a life doesn't always guarantee a happy ending. <p/>With his soccer career cut short, Joel lashes out and breaks Kerry's heart by ending their burgeoning relationship with a cruelty that derails her future, while Tim struggles to reconcile his dream of becoming a doctor with the reality of failing to act. As each struggles to move on from the events of that fateful New Year's Eve, their lives can't seem to stop colliding year after year. Ensnared by their shared histories and her big heart, Kerry soon finds herself picking up the pieces after both broken men. But when Kerry is the one who needs saving, will anyone be there for her? <p/>As Kerry, Tim, and Joel discover what it means to love, to forgive, and to find your calling, <i>How to Save a Life</i> shows us that there is more than one way to save a life--and more than one path to finding meaning in your own.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"<i>How to Save a Life</i> is so rich and fully rounded--a sweeping, brave, epic love story.
