Regine’s
Book: A Teen Girl’s Last Words
DIARY OF A DYING GIRL:
17 year old blogs about living with
leukemia and accepting death
Regine Stokke began her blog after
being diagnosed with an aggressive form of leukemia in 2008. Her goal was to
paint a realistic picture of what it’s like battling a life-threatening
illness—and to share her experience with the world. During the 15 months Regine
was sick and to her death she transformed from an average teenage girl, upset
that she doesn’t have a private hospital room, to a grateful and humble young
woman with a deep appreciation for the beauty all around her.
Regine’s Book (Zest Books,
October 2012) is Regine’s story as it was written on her blog and is
supplemented with a selection of photos as well as comments from blog readers
and entries from those who loved her most. The book deals with all the facets
of living with cancer, from the good days to the bad and everything in between.
