Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Robyn Miller died of cystic fibrosis at the age I am at now...with years of medical research, we are now to the point where people with Robyn's illness, have a median life age of 30. Robyn's essays about living with a life-threatening illness open your eyes to what your life might have been like, if you had spent a large part of your young life in hospitals, watching as friends, older and younger than you, died of the same disease your body continues to fight.Her short stories are well written, but as I am a person with CF as well, my main focus was on her essays. A good book all around. God bless Robin, for knowing she was blessed.
A book everyone should love!

This is defenetly a great book that really gets you thinking about how lucky you are if you're healthy. I had never even heard about cystic fibrosis before I read this. It has defenitly been an eye opener to what else is out there. This book is very good for anyone especially someone with cf or any other desease.
