Description
A Five-Minute Life by Emma Scott is a heart-wrenching love story about two individuals with extraordinary circumstances. Thea Hughes has only five minutes of life left, and her memories are fading fast. Meanwhile, Jim Whelan's life has been one of struggle and hardship, until he meets Thea in the Blue Ridge Sanitarium. Thea's condition is a rare and devastating form of amnesia, leaving her with fragmented experiences that last mere seconds. As she struggles to hold on to her memories, she finds solace in Jim, who has learned to cope with his own traumatic past. When Thea undergoes an experimental surgery to try and regain her memories, it could change everything - including their lives. This emotional love story explores themes of love, loss, and the human spirit's capacity for resilience. With its unique premise and poignant characters, A Five-Minute Life is a powerful and moving read that will stay with you long after the final page is turned.
