The Promise of Stardust by Priscille Sibley is a book perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult! The story is gripping and centers around one fateful day when Elle Beaulieu slips off a ladder, falls and hurts her head. She is declared officially brain dead and her neurologist husband, Mathhew, prepares himself and her family to terminate her life support. Suddenly, there is a wrinkle in the plan--after many miscarriages and a still birth, Elle is pregnant. The situation changes as Matthew gets embroiled in a battle with Elle's family and his own mother over who has the right to turn off Elle's life support and terminate both her life and the life of her unborn child. Each chapter describes one day in the life of Elle and her family after the accident, and the novel is a wonderful examination of characters. If you love family drama and/ or a good ethical story, then this book will be perfect for you.
