Date: 2007-01-09
Sarah McGreggors has leukemia and needs a bone marrow transplant. She also needs it from a compatable donor. Her parents tell her they can't because she's adopted. Sarah decides to find her real mom with a $10,000 One Last Wish check that she got from somebody. She found her mother in L.A., California and her mother says she can't do it because she had cancer and her bone marrow wouldn't help Sarah. At first Sarah's mother didn't want to see her because she had bad memories of before she put Sarah up for adoption at 72 hours old. Sarah and her real mom got together and Sarah's mom apologized for what she did 15 years ago and she was forgiven.

I really, really liked this book because Lurlene McDaniel wrote it and she is my favorite author!
Sarah has leukemia and needs a bone marrow transplant or there is no hope. Sarah later finds out she was adopted. Sarah tries to find her birth mother. She locates her and travels to meet her. Sarah hopes her birth mother can donate bone marrow for her. Sadly, Sarah finds out that her birth mother had breast cancer and can't donate bone marrow and her real father was killed.
I would recommend this book to anyone that is interested in both leukemia and adoption!!

Sarah Mcgreggor is a girl with leukemia. Sarah goes to the hospital and she finds out that she needs a bone marrow transplant. This transplant could be some bone marrow from her mom, dad, sister, or brother. Then her mom and dad said to her to go up to her hospital room and wait for them. Sarah's parents came up to her room and tell her that she can't have the transplant because her parents aren't really her parents. She was actually adopted and Sarah got a little mad though. Sarah then goes to California where her real mother was there. Sarah then meets her mom and asks her to dontate her bone marrow to her so she can live. Her mom had let her down saying go hom thouh. The next day Srah's real mom came to her hotel and told her about her hertiage. Sarah's dad had died in a plane crash and her real mom had breast cancer so she couldn't give her bone marrow because she didn't have any good marrow. Sarah ends up in the hospital when she came back to her home town. Sarah doesn't know if she is going to live. Do you think she will live? That is a thing to learn in the next book though.

To be honest, I never would have just bought this book off the shelf. The reason I read it was because I bought a "One Last Wish" trilogy with three 'One Last Wish' stories because it inlcuded "Sixteen and Dying". But since I had it, I ended up reading it.
Sarah is 15, and has just gone out of remission. When she was 10 she got diagnosed with cancer and it took 3 years, until she was 13, to achieve remission. And now it's back. The chemo won't work this time, and her only hope is a bone marrow transplant. The doctor tells her that siblings will probably have the closest match, so she just assumes her younger sister and brother will work. Sadly, it's not that easy. Sarah's parents are forced to tell her that she was adopted when she was 3 days old, and that her siblings won't be compatable, as there's no blood relation. Sarah's shocked and hurt that her parents would keep such a big secret from her. She realizes that her only hope is finding her birth mother, the one who gave her up for adoption 15 years ago. If she can find her mother, then her mother will be compatabale, and Sarah won't die.
As you can see, it's sweet. And it's obvioulsy a mother daughter book. It just wasn't that interesting to me. There really wasn't that much suspense.

This book is filled with saddness and suspense. One Sara find out that her cancer is back and that see is adopted the story flips. This book shows how to care for others and made me realize that I'm lucky to live were I am now. The one thing good about this book is how the author reaches out to the reader. You're able to feel Sara's sorrow, and be in her spot. One Last Wish, Mother Help me Live is a great book showing love,happiness,saddness, and concern for others.
