In
This Star Won't Go Out
--The Life and Words of Esther Grace Earl by Esther Earl with Lori and Wayne Earl, you get to know and meet a
remarkable young lady, Esther. This is her book and what a book it
is—fun, thoughtful, loving and always interesting. I went through a lot
of emotions reading this one and was glad I had some tissue
handy. Esther’s friends talk about her and the bond they built with
her. These letters are the most touching part of the book. Her mom and
dad write in it too, and her dad’s eulogy at the funeral was so good! I
wish I could have met Esther. This book
will stay with me a long time!
Here is a teaser from page 56:
You know, I have a really great attitude about all this cancer thing. I smile, laugh and joke about it.

I loved THE FAULT IN OUR STARS by John Green and, apparently, this book was written by the girl who inspired the story, so I'm excited to read it! Glad you enjoyed it.
