This Star Won't Go Out: The Life and Words of Esther Grace Earl by Lori Earl, Wayne Earl, Esther Earl

5.0

I don't think many people fully understand my love for this book. As someone who just signed up to participate in St. Baldrick's to be a "shavee" (go to www.stbaldricks.org/participants/GraceEllen2015 for more information), I needed to connect more with the topic of pediatric cancer. Esther made me realize that having cancer and making you cancer the center of your life are two different things. Esther had cancer, but didn't make her disease her life. She inspires me so much as a person. The only thing I hate about this is her getting remembered as "the girl who inspired John Green", when she should be remembered as a girl who inspired so many thousands of people by being her.
