My Opinion
I loved this book, I think that Davida Wills Hurwin did an excellent job writing this book. I feel that many people can relate to it, because many people know of at least one person who has had cancer and the struggles that go along with it. I feel that this book also takes you through an emotional journey and its hard to put the book down once you start because you always want to know whats coming up next.
