Since her mother’s sudden death, Emma has existed in a fog of grief, unable to let go, unable to move forward--because her mother is, in a way, still there. She’s being kept alive on machines for the sake of the baby growing inside her. Estranged from her stepfather and letting go of things that no longer seem important--grades, crushes, college plans--Emma has only her best friend to remind her to breathe. Until she meets a boy with a bad reputation who sparks something in her--Caleb Harrison, whose anger and loss might just match Emma’s own. Feeling her own heart beat again wakes Emma from the grief that has grayed her existence.
Is there hope for life after death and maybe, for love?
Heartbeat is Beloved author Elizabeth Scott’s heartbreaking, heartwarming and heart-healing new novel about the ties that bind

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 心碎后，生活还会继续吗？

母亲去世后，艾玛便一直被悲伤所笼罩，她无法释怀，无法向前----因为从某种意义上说，母亲仍然在那里从未离开。因为为了保全腹中胎儿的成长，母亲的生命正用机器维持着。

艾玛与继父从来就不亲近，她放弃了那些对她而言再无意义的事物--学分、恋情，甚至是大学计划---唯有她的密友还会提醒她记得呼吸，记得活下去。直到她遇到了一个声名狼藉的男孩并在她的心中激起了阵阵火花，一切才有所改变---卡勒伯•哈里森与艾玛有着极为相似的境遇，愤怒且迷茫。再次体会到心跳的感觉使得艾玛从悲伤中苏醒。

死后的人生中是否还存在生活的希望，甚至是爱的希望？

《心跳》是来自于大受欢迎的作家伊丽莎白•斯科特的全新作品，令人心跳，暖人心扉，却又同时充满着治愈的力量，有关于生命之中的联结与维系。（DC）

"Scott (Miracle) returns with the wrenching story of 17-year-old Emma, whose mother, Lisa, had a sudden stroke while pregnant; although Lisa is brain-dead, she is being kept alive by machines to save the baby growing inside her... Emma’s emotional conflict--characterized by moments of irrationality, rage, and confusion--is honest, and her eventual ability to see that tragedies can be blameless results in a powerful transformation." -- Publishers Weekly

"An intense examination of a family coping with grief, this absorbing character study easily keeps pages turning." -Kirkus Reviews

"Scott’s newest offering demonstrates once again her ability to weave a poignant and thought-provoking tale that expertly blends its dark subject matter with the lighter tones of an optimistic romance story....A haunting, hopeful novel that will leave readers pondering the unusual and complex issues it raises." -Booklist
