How It Feels to Fight for Your Life

” In this timely addition to her award-winning “How It Feels” series, Jill Krementz offers a compelling and revealing look at fourteen courageous children who are fighting to live their lives. Ranging in age from seven to sixteen, these boys and girls cope with such serious illnesses, disabilities, and traumas as cancer, epilepsy, spina bifida, diabetes, cystic fibrosis, and severe burns. They have survived open-heart surgery, kidney transplants, and chemotherapy. Some are on special diets, others take daily medication, and many are in the hospital for months at a time.
In remarkably candid words they share with us their fears, their hopes, and their sources of strength and support. Their words open the door to a world few of us ever see.”
