THE FAULT IN OUR STARS

If a movie is coming out soon and there
is a book about it, you can bet I have the book.
such is the case with the movie
THE FAULT IN OUR STARS
Bought it the minute I saw the previews.
However, the real story behind this movie/book
is not the fiction one that Green tells
but based on a story by a little unknown girl
by the name of Esther Earl.
A few months ago I was looking at Wally world 
for a book to read and came across a autobiography
named 
THIS STAR WON'T GO OUT 
BY ESTHER EARL.
the author of FIOS
says he based his main character on this
young woman who lost her battle to cancer.
She was a red headed firecracker who died
well before her light was out.
Her book is the better story.
She looses her battle but the things she leaves
behind for her family and us,
is far beyond what most of us can comprehend.
Read both books but read
Esther's first.
