- Summary: Sometimes Carrie Blake feels she just can’t stand life’s problems or pain. At fifteen, she’s had leukemia for three years, and although the disease is in remission, she’s never sure when things might change. Her parents, whose bitter divoce has left Carrie feeling torn between them, don’t seem to understand how much harder they make her daily life.
When Carrie meets Keith Gardner at a cancer support group, everything seems brighter. Keith and his loving supportive family are wonderful to Carrie. Then Keith’s illness worsens and he knows he can no longer fight off dying. Armed with love of family and friends, Keith chooses to participate in a hospice program, which allows him to remain at home instead of in the hospital. Carrie feels helpless as she watches Keith slip away. Will Keith’s courage help Carrie to face her own uncertain future?
