I cannot forget this book. I read it when I was 13 years old, and since then, I cannot remember any other book that has made me as emotional as this one. I love you, Sara 💓

I read this book about 2 5 years ago, and it still makes me cry to think about it. I just remembered it because I was reviewing another book that I called the saddest book ever, and realized that this is actually the saddest book ever, more so due to the fact that it is true.

This was written by the wife of one of my high school teachers, about their daughter who died of leukemia. This book made me look at life a whole different way.

I’ve owned this book since in print and read it several times. Having been a pediatric oncology nurse at Seattle Childrens Hospital (old COH) it pierced my heart. I know the names of the docs and Sara’s B3 nurses. I’ve been that nurse for a newly diagnosed family, as well as the last nurse with the privilege to be in that sacred space of them being ushered into heaven… Mama Carol captured the journey so well… and most of all Sara’s peaceful ending. Beautifully written. Thank you Carol K, for this gift.

The book is great. I love Carol she is a great book writer. I love little Sara she is like me when I was little. I also like the character that you put on Carol as the mother. It is very nice to see that someone is willing to write a story about what happened in their live even if it sad. Thank you for writing this book Carol.
