Shirley J. Adult Fiction Stage 4 Cancer, Teen Age Pregnancy, Okracoke Island, N.C.
The Wish by Nicholas Sparks 416 pages
Excellent book. Nicholas Sparks has still got it. The man can put magic on a page. This is a beautiful story told by a woman who has Stage 4 Cancer. She is telling an employee about a very emotional time in her life when she was 16 and pregnant. Her parents send her away to stay with her aunt in North Carolina until the baby is born. Her parents are Catholic and do not condone abortion but they convince (insist) she put the baby up for adoption. This is her story and it is as brilliant as a shiny bauble on a Christmas tree. I loved it. I would recommend this book to middle schoolers on up.
