When I was at the lowest and darkest point of my journey, I
made a discovery: There is light even in darkness. Six simple
words.
Here is Jess’s life:
She is 16 years old. She’s on the netball team.
Her best friends are Sara and Charlotte.
She has cancer.
Last week she kissed a boy called Dylan. Today her hair is going
down the plughole.
If Dylan finds out he’ll probably drop her – or worse,
feel sorry for her. Can she keep it a secret?
“Young people around the world will find inspiration
in this beautifully written tale of Jess and her friends. Elizabeth
Vercoe’s own journey from cancer victim to survivor gives
this story a chilling authenticity.”
DR MICHAEL CARR-GREGG, FOUNDER OF CANTEEN
“Elizabeth Vercoe has triumphed in her portrayal
of the teenage characters in the book as they deal with their
emotions and inhibitions associated with cancer and getting some
normality back into their lives.”
