The Promise of Stardust by Priscille Sibley

This is definitely a candidate for a LifeTime Channel movie.  A beautiful and brilliant young woman falls from a ladder and suffers major brain injuries.  In fact, she is declared brain dead.  Her equally brilliant neurosurgeon husband is devastated because she is the love of his life.  But he's ready to pull the plug until he learns she is pregnant.  Then all hell breaks loose because half the extended family feels it would be her wish to die with dignity and her husband knows she would want the baby to have a chance at life.  Lots of drama and lots of mulling over the same issues numerous times.  In fact, after reading almost half of it, I just skipped to the end even though I was able to guess what it would be. 


My big question is why do books like this get great reviews online.  I can only guess that there is a big audience for this type of book.  It just isn't my type.  -June
