Matt and Elle Beaulieu grew up next door to one another--they are and have always been best friends, lovers, and partners. Now in their late 30s with enormously successful careers, their one dream is to have a baby, but they have suffered multiple miscarriages due to health complications and any hope for a baby has faded to a glimmer. When Elle suffers irreversible brain damage after falling from a ladder, Matt prepares to remove his beloved from life support per her wishes.
Elle has always been firm in her belief that quality of life is more important than quantity after watching her own mother linger on life support in a coma for months as she wasted away from cancer. Now, however, routine tests reveal Elle is pregnant, and her doctor says it might be possible to save the baby if they keep Elle on life support for the next six months. Matt badly wants their child to survive. But long before Elle married him, she designated her godmother, Matt's own mother Linney, as her medical power of attorney. And, Linney believes Elle's body is not capable of sustaining the pregnancy, and is determined to let her god-daughter die in the manner she would have wanted.
Filled with grace, sensitivity and compassion, THE PROMISE OF STARDUST is a heart-rending tale that pits family members against one another as each fights for what they think is right, and for what they believe Elle would have wanted..
