In a Hearbeat by Loretta Ellsworth

This book is about two girls named Amelia (who is 14 years old) and Eagan (who is 16 years old). Amelia loves drawing, she and her family is very united. However, there is something getting in the way. The doctor told Amelia that she got early stage of Congestive heart failure, and it's time to think about a heart transplant. Within the 4 years, Amelia suffered from eating  medicines that she cannot swallow easily, they made her puke a lot.

During a tiny mistake in skating performance Eagan had to leave everything behind, including difficult relationship with her Mother. Eagan then realized she was stuck between life and death.

After Amelia's heart transplant Amelia's personality changed. She changed from disliking purple to liking it, she changed from liking carrot cake to disliking it. She also has to take anti-rejection medicines. Her family had a difficult time to use to Amelia's new personality. 

Eagan Made a friend between the life and death place, that friend led Eagan out from that horrible place, because Eagan knew there is another part of her that still lives in the world.
