By Judy Tabs

The Other Me is an unforgettable story about David Goldman, a child born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, whose time is running out and is in need of a healthy heart. His family anguishes watching him wait for a lifesaving heart transplant.

Time has run out for twelve-year-old Scott Paterson when he was struck and was tragically killed by a falling tree in the midst of Hurricane Sandy.

Will David get a second chance at life? Will Scotts family see him live on through someone else by donating his organs?

Find out in this page-turning, heartfelt tale of two families whose lives are not just changed but transformed.
