When Mikaela Campbell, beloved wife and mother of two, falls into a coma, it is up to her husband, Liam, to hold the family together, to care for their grieving, frightened children. Day after day, he sits by her bedside, telling stories of the precious life they have built, hoping, always hoping, that she will wake up. Then he discovers evidence of her secret past: a hidden first marriage to Julian True, a man no woman could resist…or forget. Desperate to bring Mikaela back at any cost, Liam turns to the one person who could make her respond– and who could take her out of his arms forever.

One might not think a main character in a coma for 3/4ths of the book could be interesting. That would be because one does not know the author, Kristin Hannah, very well.
Any story containing this quote must be thought provoking:
“Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forward.” -Søren Kierkegaard
What would you do if you could only remember the first half of your life? Though the main character is Mikaela, her husband, Liam, drives the plot. As a doctor, he is well aware what a coma can mean, particularly the longer it lasts. His journey, where he feels love slipping away, is nearly as compelling and his wife's.
I actually think Mikaela's mother, Rosa, brings more spiritual depth to this story than anyone, despite her own inability to overcome her past. And her daughter's.
Overall, read this book! If nothing else, you'll learn what it might be like to marry a movie star. Or have a first love you can't overcome.
