This Star Won't Go Out
About
Esther Earl was an exceptionally bright and talented, but very normal, teenager. Diagnosed with thyroid cancer at age 12, she lived a hope-filled, generous, outwardly focused life as she navigated her physical decline with grace and faith in God. A cheerful, positive, and encouraging daughter, sister, and friend, Esther (which means "star" in Persian) died in 2010, shortly after she turned 16, but not before she inspired thousands through her online presence.
This unique memoir collects Esther's journals, fiction, letters, and sketches. Also included are photographs and essays by family and friends, along with an introduction by award-winning author John Green, whose novel The Fault in Our Stars was partially inspired by Esther. (Book Cover)
