A well written story about sick teens

I had never read anything by this author, but when I saw this book at a used book store the title intrigued me. I wanted to know Aprils story and how she met her Indian Prince. I read this book in less then a week. The story pulled me in. I felt Aprils fear, worry, and love When she cried so did I. This book gave me a new look into what it was like to live with TB. I felt sorry for the people who were treated like lepers just because they were sick. I would recommend this story to anyone who never gives up on their dreams.

Ilove the book from start to finish

A True Inspiration!!!

This is my all time favorite book. The very first day i got it, i didn't put it down until i was done with it late that night. The vivid descriptions of a forbidden love was so touching, it kindled a new flame for an obbsession with romance. Even my e-mail was influenced by the rememarkable book. I recommend this book for any girl (or guy) that wears their heart on their sleve and can use a little sweet mushyness in thier life!

Amazing!

This book was about 16 year old April who is diagnosed with Tuberculosis (TB). To get well again, she must live in a TB hospital where she must undergo various treatments. April soon meets Ravi, an Indian prince, and he show interest in her. As April's condition worsens, April and Ravi's love for each other gets stronger. This was really an amazing book! It is also based on the author's actual life experiences. For me, I could not put the book down, I was hooked. I would reccomend this to everyone, especially those who are in the mood for reading about a truly sweet romance.

A poignant story which is hard to put down

Teen April is ready for a fine year in 1945, but instead is diagnosed with tuberculosis and confined to a long bed rest in a TB hospital. Her friendships with an exotic Indian prince who begins to court her and a seriously ill roommate struggling with health decisions changes her life as much as illness in this poignant story which is hard to put down.
