A MUST READ Lurlene McDaniel book!

A long time ago i read this book and it was the first LM book I ever read. I loved it!!! Lurlene McDaniel is my fave author and I'm pretty sure I've read all her books. What can I say?:Im a HUGE fan! her novels relate to real-life stories, so they are very sad but they make you wish you could help people who are suffering from diseases or a crisis like the characters in LM's books. I knew that LM's books would take over me. cuz once i read this book,all 3 of the novels, my eyes got damp and thats when i knew. a book had never made me cry like that before. not ever

Best Book I ever Read

This is one of the best books that I have ever read, i was so into it, I finsihed the first story in less than 3 hours. It also helps with problems , the first story talks about cancer, and one of my loved ones is dealing with cancer, and it made me feel better afer I read it, these are very inspirational stories, and will show you that there is more to life than the little things.

I Know from Experience

I have been a huge fan of Lurlene McDaniel's for years. When I was 10 I was diagnosed with a kidney disease, I've had a transplant and I'm back on dialysis now 'cause it failed and I have never known how to put what I was feeling into words, but somehow McDaniel does it over and over again in each of her books. She is the only author that can make me cry. This book is excellent...I was up til 2 a.m. just this morning finishing it 'cause I just couldn't bare to put it down. I recommend you read this book if your looking for excellent stories with good messages.

A must-read for anyone intrigued by sad love stories.

I think that this novel is one of Lurlene's Best. After reading all of her books, and being a fan for more than 6 years, I can say that this book is as wonderfully inspiring as the rest, but it's my favorite because it's a little more traumatic. You feel more sorry for Richard because he's loosing his love, than for Jenny becuase she's dying. I've always enjoyed light love stories, and if you also like dramatical twists, I would recomend this book, along with all the other Mcdaniels.

One Last Wish is a wonderful hope for all deadly ill teens.

One Last Wish is the story of a girl named who lives with her grandmother on the eastern coast of the United States. As in all of Lurlene McDaniel's Books, there is a tragedy of an illness involved. Jenny is diagnosed with Leukemia and through the plot learns what the hard conditions of being a cancer patient is. Her grandmother is very wealthy which enables Jenny to have special care even though she doesn't want the extra attention. She just wanted to get through the hard times as quickly as possible and get into a remission.Jenny and her grandmother aren't the only people that are worried. Richard--Jenny's best friend since she was 8 years old--has not been able to see her, because she doesn't want him to see her so sick. Richard loves her dearly and she loves him to, but she doesn't want him to see her in such pain.This book has been inspirational to me in many ways. I knew cancer was a deadly illness that some people get through and some people die from. I think that this made me more aware of what some teens have to go through. No one should have to endure such awful pain in their life. I reccomend this book to anyone who knows people going through some sort of an illness or any of Lurlene McDaniel's books. Lurlene tends to write about people dealing with illnesses and all of her books are heartwarming and sentimental.
