A mother and her young daughter face death together. The mysteries of life and faith underlie this true story of a family losing its youngest member to cancer. As bewildering is the child's extraordinary perception and her character, which takes on shining power as her body loses strength. The book includes Kelly's diary entries, her Christian family's efforts to live as normally as possible, and, through it all, her mother's persistent hope, faith, and love. Vividly written.
