The Sewing Mom

As a member of Parent Reviewers, I have been given the opportunity to read the fictional novel “Irreplaceable” and provide my thoughts on this debut novel by Stephen Lovely. I have to tell you, the beginning of the book was quite shocking. I am not going to tell you what happens in that first chapter, but the event that occurs is the basis for the entire rest of the book.

Irreplaceable is a touching story of how the death of a soul mate and best friend affects not only those who knew her, but also those who had never even met her. This story took me through every emotion imaginable including shock, sorrow, sadness, healing, love and the strength of family.

While this novel is fiction a story of life and love, it also carries a very strong message. Even if you’ve never considered organ donation, this story will at least make you consider signing the back of your driver’s license to be an organ donor.

Whatever your view on organ donation, “Irreplaceable” is worth the read.
