Dawn Rochelle is fifteen, and the leukemia she's been fighting for the past two years is in remission again, after a successful bone marrow transplant from her brother. This summer Dawn has agreed to work as a camp counselor for younger kids with cancer. It's the same camp that she attended with her best friend, Sandy, just before Sandy died. Dawn knows that the kids need her, but being at the camp brings back painful memories. Since Dawn has so much to live for now, wouldn't it be better to just forget about everything connected with cancer?

I have read all five of the Dawn Rochelle novels. I think that they are very inspiring and true. It is wonderful to hear these great stories of success and bravery!
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is the third book in the Dawn Rochelle series and it is by far the best. When Dawn agrees to be a CIT she has no idea what she is getting herself into. She soon meets Brent, her best friend Sandy's older brother. They become great friends seeing as he's a CIT as well. Dawn soon meets a little girl named Marlee in camp who refuses to join in with the other girls in her cabin. Dawn seems to be the only one who can open her up, and does so to find a world of hurt for this young girl. After camp is over, Marlee goes into the hospital and calls upon Dawn to be there for her. Marlee lives with her Grandmother who won't tell her the truth. This is a touching story about friendship and understanding. It truely will open up your mind.
