What is death? What is heaven? Why do people get sick, grow old, suffer and die? Who is God and why it allows so much suffering on earth? Does hell exist? Questions associated with mankind for centuries. Tried to answer many outstanding thinkers, nobody succeeded. So it is possible that the answers to these questions come to know the child? Whether or not the child should ponder the meaning of life and death?
Franny is 15 years old, suffers from cystic fibrosis. Pain and suffering is accompanied by most of its short life, she knows he will die soon, is not afraid of death, what is waiting for her on the other side, with full knowledge of your chosen departure date - 17 June.
Franny know if there is no longer among the living, is in the sky and prepare for the role of Guardian Angel. With feathery clouds the whole world watching, the people themselves and those close to totally unknown, visiting places which she was not alive to see the data.
with remarkable maturity talks about his life, illness, suffering and death, of dreams that have a life so different from the dreams of ordinary teenagers. The girl believes that nothing happens by chance and everything makes sense, trust in the power of the divine plan. The suffering with dignity, from her mouth never rains word of opposition. Extremely surprised me is the fact that she never thought about over this disease so that it is reached.
Franny asks many questions, some of them leave without a response, helping us realize that everything will become clear at the time of death. We need only be patient and live in harmony with their conscience.
book arouses positive emotions. Although the subject addressed (illness and death of a child) does not produce tears and puts us in a sad mood, but rather forces us to reflect and give hope to the existence of another, better world in which everyone is happy.
I recommend anyone who is looking for answers to difficult questions, as well as those who struggling with their grief or their relatives.
