+ Want to read

After a horrific car accident, Liz's life is over, but somehow she's still alive. Championed as the lucky recipient of the first successful brain transplant, Liz soon realizes her bittersweet choice: she can either remain as Kate, an eleven-year-old donor recipient with a life and family Liz knows nothing about, or she can alert the doctors to her condition and risk disappearing forever. But can Liz really learn to become a little girl again? And what will happen to the husband and children she left behind? Becoming Kate is an enthralling exploration of identity, family, and what it really means to be alive that will keep you guessing to the very last page.
