Diary of a dying girl Cover Image Book

Diary of a dying girl / Mallory Smith.

Smith, Mallory, (author.).

Summary:

"From the age of three, Mallory Smith knew she was living on borrowed time. A cystic fibrosis diagnosis will do that. But for the twenty-five years that Mallory lived, she lived. She played sports, went to parties, attended college, and fell in love. And during it all, she wrote. In thousands of journal entries, Mallory captured her joy and worry, her heartbreak and humor. She talked about her love of the ocean and the environment, of volleyball and writing. Her disease was a big part of her life, but there was also much more. Mallory embraced every moment until her death, when she succumbed to complications from a superbug. She lived because she knew something that most people take a lifetime to figure out: life isn't about how much time you have; it's about what you do with it."-- Front flap.
