Yesterday, I purchased a book called, "This Star Won't Go Out." It's about a young girl, Esther Grace Earl (August 3, 1994 – August 25, 2010) , who was 16 when she died from complications of thyroid cancer in 2010.

Esther was recognized as a an aspiring writer and avid internet vlogger.

Following her death from cancer in 2010, her personal journal and other writings were compiled and released as the book "This Star Won't Go Out", which appeared in 2014 on the New York Times bestseller list for young adult books.
