Star has a great sense of humor and lots of style, but jokes and creativity can’t protect her from cystic fibrosis, a fatal disease she’s had since she was born. Because of her illness, Star has never been able to do things most kids do—and never even had a chance to make a best friend. Then Star goes to Hope House when her illness is at its worst. She meets Courtney Cambridge there, and they become friends. Courtney is pretty, popular, and she has a boyfriend—she’s everything Star has ever wanted to be, and her friendship gives Star the strength to go on. Soon, Courtney is going back to a normal, healthy life, and Star isn’t—she’s too sick to leave Hope House. Will Star lose her first best friend when Courtney discovers how sick Star really is?
