A Million Reasons Why by Jessica Strawser

 

When Caroline’s husband selected the Christmas gift they would give her family, he had no reason to believe it would result in anything but interesting information.  He had no way of knowing the heartbreaking secrets that would be unlocked by that simple test.

 

The information sends this family into chaos that includes infidelity and illegitimate children, to lies told to keep the secrets hidden.  Along the way, complex characters tangled together in a web of love and secrecy gamble with what they hold most dear.  And the plot continues to twist.

 

Strawser had treated moral issues most people never consider with tenderness and compassion. What would you do if you could save someone’s life…and only you could do it?  This book not only explores the morality of its characters, but also of how our society treats people with medical crises, particularly those in need of organ donation.

 

This book will grab you and keep you until the end. You won’t want to put it down.
