Notes
Diagnosed with thyroid cancer at the age of twelve, Esther Earl was an exceptionally bright and talented - but very normal - teenager. She lived a hope-filled and generous, outwardly focused life as she navigated her physical decline with grace. A cheerful, positive and encouraging daughter, sister and friend, Esther died in 2010, shortly after turning 16, but not before inspiring thousands through her growing online presence. This unique memoir collects Esther's journals, fiction, letters and sketches. Photographs and essys by family and friends help tell Esther's story.
