Fifteen-year-old Dawn Rochelle has survived cancer not once, but twice. No one knows the battle better than she does. That's why Dawn agrees to be a camp counselor for young kids with cancer--the same camp she and her best friend Sandy had attended. Now Sandy is gone. Can Dawn handle the memories? How can she help the kids if she is still hurting so much?
I thoroughly enjoyed I want to live. I could really relate to Dawn, having a sister who has acute lymphocytic leukemia. I have seen and made friends with many people like Dawn and I have found their thoughts and feelings to be similar to those in the book. McDaniel's plot is exceptional and I found the book to be very heart-touching. Keep 'em coming, Lurlene McDaniel!
Wonderful!

I read this series for the first time when i was about 10. I think my mom read them to me actually. Since then I have read the entire series at least once a year!There are five books in the series: "Six Months to Live," "I Want to Live," So Much to Live for," "No Time to Cry," and a new one called "To Live Again."These books depict a young woman, Dawn Rochelle, who battles lukemia, and loves and loses some good friends along the way.It is pretty realistic and very touching. As a teen with a chronic illness, I can totally relate to many of Dawn's experiences, but even if you have never stepped foot in a hospital the "Six Months to Live" series will give you a look into the life of someone with an illness, and i guarantee it will leave you with a new appreication for life!
Great teen book

When I ordered this book I was sure that I would like it because I had read the first one. I loved this book, I couldn't put it down. I let two of my friends read it and they loved it. I would recomend this book to anyone who loves a good cry, and/or just a good book. I liked it because it showed that she was just an ordinary teenager at heart. God bless
this book was very informing.

This was a very serious book and if I were to rate this book from 1 to 5 I would have to give it a 5 because of the way th author wrote this book.
Really good book!
