This review is from: She Died Too Young (One Last Wish) (Paperback)

Another addition to the story of friends Lacey, Chelsea, Amanda, Jillian and Katie, its a must-read. Chelsea is on the beeper for a heart transplant, and staying with Katie's family. Katie's success with a heart transplant gives Chelsea hope, but after living with a heart disease her entire life, Chelsea is getting sicker each day. At a class for hopeful tranplant receipiants, Chelsea meets Jillian, a sassy, up-beat red-head with a Texan twang and a rich father. Jillian is not only in need of a heart, but a 'pair of lungs.' Jillian and Chelsea can relate, and become instant friends. But one night both girls' beepers go... but there's only one heart, and two lungs. Do the doctors save three people, or one?

5.0 out of 5 stars This book will make you value life a little bit more., October 29, 1999

This book by Lurlene McDaniel is AWESOME. It was the first one of all her books that I have read. I saw it at a bookstore and at first hated it, but then I really got into it. This book is for those who have a heart and are willing to give this book a try, otherwise don't even touch the book. I have since read many others by Lurlene McDaniel, and while they have the basic story-line, they really are rather different. Read this and then more in the series
