Smith – Mango days

CELC

YA 362.6S

Smith

1993

Author:

Patty Smith

Title:

Mango days : a teenager facing eternity reflects on the beauty of life

Publisher:

Pasadena, Calif. : Hope Pub. House, ©1993.

Description: xxiv, 133 p. : ill. ; 22 cm.

Summary: Most teenagers think of themselves as indestructible. Patty Smith, 17, had no reason to feel otherwise. When a lump on her arm proves not to be benign, life becomes fragile, finite and precious. How Patty responds could well stand as a model of how we would want to react in similar circumstances.
Patty’s story is told through journal entries, sketches, poems and letters to a best friend. Anyone of any age facing serious illness, as well as families and friends, will find encouragement in her words and in the Latin phrase Patty quoted often: “Carpe diem”–seize the day!

Subjects: Smith, Patty, — 1962-1981 — Health.

           Tumors in adolescence — Patients — United States — Diaries.
