This Star Won't Go Out: The Life and Words of Esther Grace Earl by Lori Earl, Wayne Earl, Esther Earl
4.0
In this book you'll find a story about a girl of remarkable strength, the people she loved, and the people who loved her.
Many times those who have passed are raised onto a pedestal to one dimensional memories of Hope and Inspiration. Esther's story does offer hope and inspiration because of her accomplishments, but her journal entries show a complex girl. Esther is angry at her disease, yet also grateful and seemingly enraptured by the love and support of her family and friends. She never loses her sense of humor even as her condition grows worse. Esther's early fiction romantic comedies, a fantasy world populated by animals of her own making, and a fictionalized version of her own struggle with cancer. Her work shows us a passionate voice that was clearly going to develop into a successful writer.
