- Synopsis
- How to Survive Your Life Tip #1: DON'T GET CANCER. When seventeen-year-old Helen first got sick, her teacher told her to write her feelings down on paper. Writers can't change the world, she said, but they can make poetry and laughter from pain. So Helen began a diary, and in it she confided her fears, hopes, and dreams. Then Helen died and her younger sister Jessie was left alone--and terrified. Jessie wonders why it was Helen--sunny, funny Helen--who died, instead of her. Helen, who saw the rainbows where Jessie only saw puddles. Somehow Helen seems more alive in the pages of her diary than Jessie feels as she reads it. Jessie doesn't know how to go on living without her beloved sister. Though, perhaps somewhere in Helen's own words, she'll find the strength to face being alone.
