I thought I might share this incredible story with you.

A good friend of mine passed away last May. She was only 15. A month before her death, she completed the manuscript of a book she had been working on for 3 YEARS.

Well, guess what? The book has been published!

From our local newspaper:

http://warwickonline.com/pages/full...hed book &id=5478571&instance=home_news_right

Thought you should be reminded that miracles can happen, even through bad things.

The book is avaliable on www.b&n.com and www.amazon.com for now.

She was always writing, writing, writing when I saw her (if she wasn't writing, she was drawing!)

Thanks...Kim's best friend sang that song at her memorial concert.

That wonderful! What a great thing. Sorry for the loss of your friend.

Thanks.

Yes! Her family and friends are very involved. Everyone worked on typing the story, raising money, editing, etc. The book's dedicated to her sister, Jamie.

Hmm, this book looks like it's right up my alley! And I'd be honored to own something that came from someone who's touched as many lives as she obviously has. What a wonderful legacy!

And thank you so much for pointing it out!

That's an amazing story, both that she's a remarkable talent and tragically sad.
