The Replacement Wife by Eileen Goudge
I don't think anyone really knows how they would react to a death sentence from his/her doctor. When Camille Hart is given one she fights back and wins. Her own mother died when she and her sister were young and their father wasn't around much. So she is so happy that her children won't face the same fate. Now the doctor has given her bad news again - about six months to live and no real treatment options. This time she puts her energy into enjoying her family and working, working, working. Camille happens to be a very successful matchmaker. Now it is time for her most important match of all - someone for her husband and children. As you can imagine her husband, Edward, is not thrilled about this! But it is basically Camille's 'dying wish' so he pretends to be a little cooperative. Remember that saying - "Be careful what you wish for"? It is a saying for a reason! It was a good story that wasn't as predictable as you might think when you begin the book.
