This Star Won't Go Out by Esther Earl with Lori & Wayne Earl

Have you read "The Fault in Our Stars" by John Green?  That book was written as a tribute to Esther Earl, who had become a friend of John Green's during her battle with thyroid cancer.  This book is comprised of journal entries, blog posts, letters, skype transcripts, etc. by Esther, her parents and friends.  It tells the story of Esther's spirit, humor, and hope through her battle with the cancer she was diagnosed with at age 14.  Parts will make you smile, parts will make you chuckle and parts will make you wish you had brought the box of kleenex with you.  It was one of those books that makes you realize you can't take things for granted and live each day to the fullest.
