And When I Died (Paperback)

Paperback. Title: "And When I Died""I was eleven years and two months old when I died. I remember dying more clearly than being born. My eyes were closed when I was pushed through my mama's birth canal, but they were wide open when I slipped out of life for the final time. I knew when death came, and I left with her."In this short yet deeply moving and profound story, a young girl facing terminal leukemia shares the last few months of her life. Despite being poor, black, and confronting her mortality, she finds acceptance, love, and beauty in her final days. Her story is a powerful testament to the strength of the human spirit, and the profound impact of living life fully, even when time is fleeting and death is near. This item is printed on demand.
