Nine year-old Maya even wrote an introduction rap for me: Maya and her mother (my best friend Kate) I had a great time seeing the sights, including one very famous building: It was great to be able to thank her in person for all of her efforts (Especially the new cover! See below this post.) I’ve just returned for a trip to New York, where I met with the editor who worked on the paperback edition of “After All, You’re Callie Boone”. This poignant story of a young girl coming to terms with a serious diagnosis, is a hopeful tale about overcoming life’s hurdles.ĭate: 2013.04.21 | Category: On the Move | Response: 0 Suddenly everything is different: not just her diet and the injections, but her relationships with her family and her friends. One day, after a collapse at a soccer game, she wakes up in the hospital to find out she’s got Type 1 diabetes. She’s tired all the time, and, most humiliating of all, she’s started wetting the bed like a baby. Lately, Sam has been crazy hungry and thirsty. What doesn’t she love? Her super-annoying teenage brother, how her little sisters mess up the house and talk incessantly, and especially, how completely weird she is feeling. She loves ice cream, sleepovers, Christmas, and her soccer team (future team captain). When Sam is diagnosed with diabetes, her whole world changes - can she learn to handle it?
