Beth Manning’s sister, Janna, is perfect. At least that’s how it seems to Beth. More than anything, Beth wishes for something to make herself as special as Janna. Then, after her fourteenth birthday, Beth gets her wish in a terrible way: She develops leukemia, cancer of the blood. Beth’s disease takes its toll on her family, especially Janna. Suddenly Janna isn’t acting like the perfect older sister anymore. Then at Hope House, a place for kids with serious illnesses, Beth meets Eliot, a cancer survivor who understands the fear of pain and sickness. With Eliot’s support, Beth is able to show Janna, her parents, and herself that perfection isn’t nearly as important as love.
