This Star Won't Go Out: The Life and Words of Esther Grace Earl by Lori Earl, Wayne Earl, Esther Earl
3.0
This is one of the greatest stories i have ever read it makes me thankful for all i have. I will remember each word and each moment in this book. It is the only nonfiction that i have not fallen asleep reading it is exceptional.
This is the journal and a look into the life of Esther earl before and after her Thyroid cancer diagnosis. She was a full of life teen who spent all her possible time at Harry Potter conventions and Doctor who Cons, and lets not forget comic con and leaky con where she met someone who would become her greatest friend and beacon of support... We all know him as the World renowned author John Green but she knew his as her goofy nerd fighting friend who would put together parties and pay to fly out all her online friends to visit her when she wasn't doing well.
As the dates creep closer and closer you see less of her writing and more of her parents and supports saying and sending letters telling those how she is as you continue her story... Her book begins to whine done until a week after her 16th birthday she passes away peacefully in hospital room enclosed in a circle of family and closet friends.
Reading this story you will not have a dry eye its emotional funny and most of all it shows the strength that this teenage girl who never gave up and will always be loved and remembered not for her cancer but for her outlook and comical outlook on life and the important paths we leave on others... Ester Earl is my inspiration and her star will never go out.
