Description:The central focus of the plot is the hospital room of 17 year old Holly Hart who lies is a coma beyond reach; or is she? The book explores the human mind and our understanding of the conscious state. What is the difference between a Minimally Conscious State and a Persistent Vegetative state?Based on a true story, the novel explores 17 year old Jack's determination to connect with his comatose twin sister Holly. He is aided in this task by his girlfriend Lu-wan. Together they embark upon a journey of discovery, that leads them through a labyrinth of perception and reality. Holly responds telepathically, sharing the twin's sixth sense with her brother.All members of the Hart family are naturally deeply affected by Holly's coma: father Tom, an actor, loses himself in the theatre, preferring fiction to reality; mother Ruth, a high-flying GP, prefers not to engage with the nuances of Holly's medical condition and regard her as in a Permanent Vegetative State as it is easier to deny her daughter a chance of recovery, rather than to keep clinging on to the tortuous hope that she might recover full consciousness.Grandfather Jim Pace, a Korean war veteran and jazz musician has the wit and imagination to try and connect with Holly via the perimeters of improvised music and the untapped potential of the creative mind...In summary, Holly's coma forces each family member to turn a search-light of understanding onto their own lives and re-assess their own values, actions and reconfigure their individual moral compasses.Vanity - ego - the desire not to lose face - the fixation with one's social status - peer pressure to succeed: all these factors can colour an individual's actions and mask the true self. Only by stripping away all those masks can one look at oneself afresh in the mirror and see reality as it truly is... The End-Game can only begin once each person in the book has confronted their own individual demons, aided and abetted by Holly - a free spirit - with a mind and heart that soars far beyond the confines of her hospitalised body...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
